A blog about one teacher's journey to implement Choice Based Art Education (CBAE) into her classroom.

Occurred to me today...
It suddenly dawned on me today that one of the biggest hurdles I have to overcome or one of the "things" I am having the most trouble with in attempting to do this CB model is that I do not have the time or the opportunity to teach the finer points like I used to. For example, rather than being able to show more specialized or intricate methods of construction on a paper mache project, I really only have time to give the bare bones basics before the kids get started. There are so many different things going on at any given time, that I flight and flutter from one media to the next, drawing, collage, paper mache, etc. If I really look deep and stop to think about it at length, I think that part of me feels I am doing a disservice to the students in not having a chance to teach them the finer points, but it's a struggle because I see how glad they are in having a choice...perhaps I will be able to figure out some type of happy medium somewhere? Hopefully.
