Curriculum

Do you teach a discipline-based art curriculum or a choice-based one?
I think that the students themselves will dictate my choice of curriculum. Students who are younger or need more guidance through projects, discipline based will be more appropriate. Where as older students who have more ideas about where they want to go with their work, the choice based may be more appropriate for students to explore their own ideas, rather than having their ideas dictated to them. Of course there is always a time and place for both discipline and choice within the classroom and even within a lesson.
