The Bulletin BoardI'm not much into decorating the bulletin board. I posted a fresh sheet of white paper, put orange border around it and walked away. I figured I do something soon, just didn't know what. One of the students decided, without asking, to hot glue a pack of sticky notes to the board. Other students starting drawing on the sticky notes and putting them in random spots on the previously empty board. Soon, we had a fair amount of sticky notes. Later, in the afternoon, when most students had left, the original student started grading the sticky note art. She would also leave little comments. We teachers call that assessment. Now the board is getting filled. People keep making art and then checking back the next day to receive their assessment. Nobody knows who the assessor is.

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.
