I've been making changes in the art room. Choosing a choice-based art curriculum is about giving the students freedom to experiment and explore all types of art making, and learning about all types of art materials. They can work at a pace that is comfortable, and truly make art that is meaningful to them. The difference? It's all about process over project. When teachers have a specific outcome in mind, students lose the ability to have natural responses and discovery when moving through a learning process. Students are able to explore their own interests in a more in depth way. Check out more art from some of our Red Room through Blue Room Artists below.

Hello, my name is Patti Rowland and I am the art teacher for grades K - 8 at Blacksburg New School. I feel very fortunate to be able to have each class for an hour two times a week. Teaching at Blacksburg New School gives me the opportunity to explore and create a curriculum that incorporates choice-based learning, which serves the varying processing styles of our young artists.
