I can't believe it is finally here! Our artists have been working SO HARD to prepare their individual pieces as well as other art pieces to help raise money for the new playground. This night will be AMAZING! We have a great collection of art from staff to display and about 75% of our students created something to display. The best part is - its ALL ABOUT THIS KIDS! They have mounted their work, had the ideas for their work, created their work, wrote about their work and this night will be about THEIR work. This is the beauty of Teaching for Artistic Behaviors (TAB). For more info about what that means, click here. One of the biggest things adults need to know about TAB is that the art is created at the developmental level of the child so it will look child-like. Check out the chart below about Victor Lowenfeld's Drawing Development. Some of my artists fall inline with this chart and some are above of below Lowenfeld's ideas. All of it is based on their age and experience/exposure to art tools.
And here are some photos of students preparing work for the art show. It will be an incredible night and we can't wait to see you there!
