Daily Monsters!

Students are really loving the flexibility and the unpredictability of Daily Monsters. Based on Stefan G. Bucher's website http://www.dailymonster.com/ , we tried our own versions in class with india ink, eye droppers, and cocktail straws.

What is C.H.O.I.C.E. Based Art?

C.H.O.I.C.E. stands for Children Having Original, Individual, Creative Experiences. The new art program at Mountain View Elementary is based on the principles and practices of the nationally recognized and researched “Choice Based Art Education” and “The Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) Partnership”. The idea is simple: Students are the artists and the classroom is their studio. Children are offered real choices for responding to their own ideas and interests, through making art. When given the chance to explore their own ideas, passions and interests, children often find greater meaning and relevance in their work.
