An good choice-based art room worth it's salt has a building center. In visiting other classrooms and re-designing my own to be centers-based, I witness how crazy popular the blocks are!
Students love to build structures from their imaginations and to recreate famous examples of architecture from around the world. This center emphasizes the E in STEAM. Facing a blank page can be daunting--each line a permanent mark. Creating something that can be easily changed and reformed is a blessing for those students who need to tread carefully until they achieve more confidence. Also, we take pictures of these temporary artworks and post the photos on our website and in the hallway displays to celebrate their successes. We need blocks at Britt!
