Artists as Toy Makers
Students working as artists in a learner-directed studio environment often choose to make
toys. How do learners benefit from this endeavor? Can toys be considered “art”? What
about the standards? Important learning is taking place when students engage as
toymakers, inventors and innovators in the art room. It is the role of the art teacher to
frame, describe, extend and celebrate this joyful, creative enterprise. In this presentation,
examples of intrinsically-motivated toy making activities will be shared and the learning
opportunities and outcomes for students will be discussed.

Messing Around: Discovery Learning In the Art Room
How can art educators provide opportunity for spontaneous discovery, invention, practice
and play so critical to the creative/artistic process? The concept of “classroom” may be
replaced with that of “art studio” in order to create an environment which invites authentic
collaboration, innovation, independent thinking, personal relevance and choice. When setting
the stage for powerful discovery-learning to occur, productive possibilities emerge if the
teacher embraces the role of “guide on the side” and not “sage on the stage.” Come take a
virtual tour of a choice-based art studio, and watch some of the play student engage in,
during classes based on the concept of Teaching for Artistic Behavior. Painting with your
fee? Collaborating on an enormous “Puff-City”? Mining clay on the playground? Throwing
paint from a four-foot dust mop? Printing with a hammer? In this studio-classroom, child’s
play produces unforgettable artistic discoveries.
Thursday, October 8, 5:45 p.m.
