The authors who introduced the concepts of Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) and choice-based art education have completely revised and updated their original, groundbreaking bestseller that was designed to facilitate independent learning and support student choices in subject matter and media.

The Second Edition of Engaging Learners Through Artmaking will support those who are new to choice-based authentic art education, as well as experienced teachers looking to go deeper with this curriculum. This dynamic, user-friendly resource includes sample lesson plans and demonstrations, assessment criteria, curricular mapping, room planning, photos of classroom set-ups, media exploration, and many other concrete and open-ended strategies for implementing TAB in kindergarten–grade 8.

“This book invites art teachers to share their reservations, their interests, and their experiences with opening up their classrooms to accommodate student choices.”
—From the Foreword by Christine Marmé Thompson, Penn State University

“This book suggests the essence of art teaching, which is to inquire: What do we need to provide young artists that will allow them to take full advantage of their artistic behavior?”
—Foreword from the first edition by George Szekely, University of Kentucky

“This is a powerful tool for keeping student agency at the center of artistic learning. Emerging and veteran teachers alike will treasure this book.”
—Laura K. Reeder, Massachusetts College of Art and Design
