Lower School Monthly Open Studio: October — Create
At the end of every month, our K–5 artists dive into a choice-based Open Studio inspired by the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) model. This approach transforms the classroom into a true studio, where students lead the way—choosing materials, exploring ideas, and expressing their creativity in authentic ways.
October’s theme is Create — encouraging students to be art explorers!
What’s Happening in October:
- Air Dry Clay Sculptures: Cute Ghosts or Marshmallow Characters- Drawing on Easels
- Metallic Watercolor Exploration
- Light Sensory Shape Table
- Building with Picasso Tiles
- Building with Cardboard Shapes
- Origami Paper Folding (G4-5)
At the Picasso Tile station, students explored art as an experience—building, connecting, and imagining together. We talked about how art isn’t always something you take home — sometimes it’s what you build in the moment with others. 💫
This open, choice-based environment nurtures creativity, independence, and community. Students are learning that art is not just a product, but a joyful process of discovery and collaboration.
