We have moved from teacher directed project based learning to a studio environment.  Artists choose what they want to draw and what they would like to work on during their time, and must only use one piece of paper.  They are learning where to locate drawing materials, how to distribute them effectively, set up their studio spaces, and break down the studios for dismissal.  Some of the drawing experiences include how-to-draw reference sheets, still-life, portrait, imaginary and from memory.  It has been a joy to watch it all unfold.  With procedures and rules in place, students are free to move about the room and setup where they like.  They often walk to other tables to see what their fellow artists are doing.  Before moving on to a different project, students must complete a reflection sheet that allows them to think about the Elements and Principles they used and form an opinion about their art.  Upcoming studios include painting, architecture, and fiber arts.
