This book explains why Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) is an influential art education movement, addresses misconceptions about TAB, and shares real-life examples from practicing teachers.
With a diverse range of examples from teachers and school districts who use the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) approach, What Artists Do provides a strong argument for the place of TAB in today’s K–12 visual arts education landscape. After beginning in the 1970s as a grassroots movement, TAB’s growth has been fueled by passionate teachers sharing ideas through social media, conferences, workshops, and professional development events. TAB’s continued expansion is driven by its student-centered approach to artmaking, the creativity of its practitioners, and a growing demand for educational models that prioritize innovation and self-direction. With chapters tailored for a wide audience—including experienced and new art teachers, administrators, and teacher educators—this book serves as a practical resource for understanding and implementing TAB in art rooms everywhere.
