Art

The art program at Lane embraces Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB), a student-centered, process-focused, choice-based approach to art education. In our studio, students assume the role of working artists and help determine the direction of the emergent curriculum by continually pursuing the question ‘what do artists do?’ Students practice creating art problems to solve, asking and finding answers to intrinsically motivating questions, and exploring creative possibilities inspired by the world around them. Through their studio experience, students develop critical thinking skills, perseverance, self-confidence, self-reflection, and reasoning while simultaneously becoming independent and organized.

The Lane art studio features a variety of art-making centers (drawing, sculpture, fibers, etc.) that are introduced to students systematically. The structure of our class (teacher presents, students at work, talking about art, and showing art) follows the Studio Thinking Framework and encompasses the development of eight broad thinking dispositions known as Studio Habits of Mind (SHoM).
