Teaching Artistic Behaviors

Teaching for Artistic Behaviors (TAB) is a nationally recognized approach to teaching art that gives students choices. It was developed in collaboration with Project Zero, a project within Harvard's graduate school of education that studies the cognitive benefits of arts education. Since 1967, TAB has been practiced in Massachusetts schools and has been researched by the Massachusetts College of Art. The basic idea being that the mind habits art teaches are of more value than pre-scripted art projects.
