It's important to realize that TAB art education isn't simply "free time". Each class begins with a short (5-10 minutes) lesson. I introduce a concept, or medium. I also show them artwork that corresponds with the lesson. The kids are then free to choose to work with what I've just introduced, or to choose something else.

The studios are introduced one at a time, and explained. The kids learn about processes used in each one. Some students work at the same station week after week, while others flit back and forth.
