Above Image: SchoolArts Summer Issue, Open Art Room Article There is one question that is often asked specifically in regards to a choice-based program. The question is; does choice-based teaching meet the standards and if so, how? The answer is a resounding yes. The Standards align perfectly with choice-based teaching, and in particular, they align with TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior). Here’s how. The Standards Realigned The Artistic Process follows a particular order. First, it asks the student to look at art (Inspiration). Second, it asks the student to find a connection in that art (development). Third, it asks the student to create art (Creation). Finally, it asks the student to reflect and present art (Reflection). All four of these phases are covered by the Standards however, they are not aligned. The Standards were not necessarily created to be used in any particular order. However, they are presented in order, numbered 1 through 11: Creating, Presenting, Responding, Connecting. In this order they do not align with the Artistic Process. However, since the Standards were not meant to be presented in any order, we have freedom to rearrange their order. When we reordering the standards to the following: Responding, Connecting, Creating, and Presenting We notice how well they align with the Artistic Process phases: Inspiration, Development, Creation and Reflection.

Here at The Art of South Brunswick High School, NC, we incorporate the Teaching for Artistic Behavior or TAB philosophy in our classroom. TAB states that the student is the artist and the art room is their studio. We believe students should be involved in the entire artistic process including designing, creating, and reflecting on their work. It is our job as teachers to present ideas and concepts, demonstrate techniques and materials, and encourage and support our students to create and produce works of art at the highest level.
