The Denver Art Museum will host the 11th Annual Teaching for Artistic Behavior Conference January 15-16, 2022, in the brand new Jana & Fred Bartlit Learning and Engagement Center.
Teaching for Artistic Behavior, or TAB, is an art teaching philosophy based on the artist’s practice. The TAB philosophy states that the child is the artist and the classroom is the artist’s studio. During these two jam-packed days of learning, teachers from across Colorado and beyond will discuss how to inspire and guide young artists in developing their craft and working with ambiguity.
Keynote speaker Jillian Hogan, co-author of Studio Thinking from the Start: the K-8 Educator’s Handbook, will kick off the weekend with a virtual talk that investigates why this choice-based model works. On Sunday, educators will hear from Moe Gram and Frankie Toan, local artists and creators. Gram and Toan are the artists responsible for the first activities hosted in the museum's dyanmic new Creative Hub space.
