Teaching for Artist Behavior, or T.A.B., is an approach to art education that allows students to think and make visual decisions as if they were professional artists. Choice-based T.A.B. learning consists of four main components: personal context, pedagogical context, classroom context, and assessment.
This course is designed for 7th and 8th grade art enrichment students that have a serious interest in the field of visual arts. In this self-paced, 18 week semester-long, visual art enrichment course, students will experiement with a variety of 2-D and 3-D mediums while completing approximately one module of work per week. Each medium and project module asks students to read, watch, experiment, create, and reflect in order to demonstrate an understanding of the covered material. Beginning modules allow students to learn about different 2-D and 3-D art techniquues, while later modules allow students to apply and assess the information they learned, culminating the semester with a peer art portfolio critique. Students have the flexibility to choose the order in which they want to complete each medium module. After experiementing with a variety of materials and techniques in the course, students will demonstrate their application of what they learned in each module by proposing and creating a minimum of 2 original works of art using a variety of both 2-D and 3-D mediums.
Students should plan to spend approximately 3 to 5 hours per week completing each module. Project modules require approximately 5 to 10 hours per week to complete.
The learning objects for this T.A.B. visual art enrichment course are as follows:
This course fulfills the following National Visual Arts Standards:
Creating
Performing/Presenting/Producing
Responding
Connecting
This course fulfills the following Illinois State Standards for Visual Art:
