Product or Process? Now there’s a hot button topic. They say in polite company to never speak of politics or religion. Perhaps we should add product vs process to the list as well. Online, this topic always generates conversation and sometimes even brings out a few trolls. So, what makes it so controversial? Let’s find out.

Make Artists S1E7: The Nine

Did you know there are only nine things you can make art about? You say, Sands, that’s crazy talk. Certainly, there are more than nine topics. But I say, we have a list and any art you want to make can be made under one of the Nine.

Make Artists S1 E12: What’s So Great About Authentic Art?

Make Artists

03/17/21 • 21 min

I was asked a question. “Do you submit student art into local shows and if so, do you find it more difficult to compete with other DBAE or teacher-directed programs?” There’s a lot to unpack in that question and it all starts with authentic art.

Make Artists S1 E18: Learning Targets Aligned with the Standards

Make Artists

Meeting the Standards with Learning Targets
When working in a student-directed art program, there are many different projects happening at any one time. One student may be painting a landscape, while another is drawing a cartoon, and still another is learning how to animate. With all these different projects, some might conclude that it is difficult for the teacher to track what the students are learning. How do we know they are meeting the standards? The answer to this question can be found in the student-directed process of preselecting a Learning Target.

Make Artists S1E19: A Vision for Art Education

Today’s art classrooms aren’t much different than they were 20 or even 30 years ago. Furthermore, our art classrooms aren’t set up that much differently than the regular education classrooms. In this episode, we will imagine a world of art education without course names or numbers, classes with invisible borders, that are stocked with 21st century art supplies, and offer unique and different ways of displaying artwork.

Art: Anytime, Anywhere

Make Artists

12/30/21 • 18 min

What if there was only one art class... "Art"? What if students could take "Art" anytime, any block, in any room, with any teacher? Sounds crazy? At South B, we're about to make it happen.

Week One: What Worked and What Didn't

Make Artists

09/07/22 • 18 min

It's week one of Art Anytime/Anywhere. This was our first week with students and some things worked, somethings didn't, and somethings were sort of neutral. In this podcast, we'll discuss in order of the events as they unfolded, what worked, what didn't and, well, you get the idea.

Make Artists S1E4: Teaching Media in the Choice-Based Art Room.

Make Artists

01/20/21 • 21 min

Teaching about media is a large chunk of what occurs in the art room. Through the introduction of media, we teach skills, and techniques, and processes, and concepts. Traditionally, art teachers have taught media through projects. However, the choice-based, TAB teacher has a challenge. We don’t offer teacher-directed projects. So how do we introduce our students to new media?
