Students in fourth grade learn how to create a monochromatic painting. Using only one color plus black and white, students are asked to create a work of art. Students learn concepts like color mixing, tints and shades, and how color has value.
The Teaching for Artistic Behavior was formed in 2000 with the support of the Massachusetts College of Art, the NAEA and the Education Alliance at Brown University. It includes Choice-Based Art programs from around the United States. The concept emerged over 30 years ago in Massachusetts classrooms through the need for more authentic art making experiences. T.A.B. is commited to supporting and encouraging teachers who would like to provide authentic art making opportunities for students and who believe in the child first.
