Abstract/Description
This case study examines the best practices in developing instruction to enhance student artists creativity. Using a transformative mixed methods approach, this study shows how teacherdirected lessons and choice-based art projects within a learner directed classroom using the practices with the philosophy of Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) can enhance student artist creativity. The goal of this case study is to reflect and evaluate the different strategies I have used over the last five years to develop an art curriculum that enhances student creativity. This case study will reflect the findings from my classroom over the last five years. I realize that these findings may not be true for all art educators but may offer insights into developing creativity in a TAB classroom.
