My elementary classroom studio now operates using a choice based art education. I have started to rotate demonstrations at each center: Drawing, Collage, Painting, Printmaking, Fiber Arts, Sculpture. One of the time consuming tasks is pulling up Contemporary Art as an inspiration in the Five Minute Museum. I’ll google images, check out pinterest etc. or dig through flat files. I thought maybe a rotation of contemporary artists featured weekly or monthly would be helpful. Our students are thriving in this setting and would be excited to see artists thinking too.
