Let's Go - Starting the year in a TAB classroom with Jean Barnett

Hello, and welcome to the Blocks Paper Scissors Podcast #30.

Today we have a special guest with us. Jean Barnett is an amazing High School TAB teacher in Central Texas.  She has been teaching for 17 years, at the same school, with more than 12 of those years as a TAB teacher.  She currently is teaching Art 1, Art 3, and runs her school’s ceramics program.  When Jean is not teaching her students how to think and behave like artists, she is teaching other art teachers all about TAB as the secondary cohort leader at the TAB Institute."

Here is the link to the article Clyde mentioned.

The Genesis of TAB: A live recording Kathy Douglas from TABstock2023

During this years TABstock, we were blessed to have Kathy Douglas in attendance. I grabbed the opportunity to record, in her words, the genesis of TAB. It is a wonderful story told by one of the founders of TAB: Kathy Douglas. 

We’re Baaaaaaack

Ha! You thought we were done? Sorry! We have been super-duper busy and I had to hold Mr. Gaw hostage in order to get this podcast recorded. Just Kidding. In this episode Clyde and I are catching up with several random thoughts and I dead in this unscripted podcast.

The Healing Power of Art

In this episode, Clyde and Clark talk about the healing power of art. Why do kids seek out the art room when they are anxious? Why do certain behaviors disappear when children have the opportunity to work with their minds and their hands?

Quality

WE are finally back in the studio...sort of. In this episode of Blocks Paper Scissors, Clyde and I try to get back into the groove talking about quality. Teacher directed vs. student directed quality and what is really happening in the minds of our young artists. Special thanks to the Easthils for allowing me to use their awesome music.
