Zines
There are no set-in-stone rules for making zines. A zine can be about anything you’re interested in. Really! There are all kinds of zines including: fanzines (a zine about something or someone you love), cooking zines full of recipes and tips, comic zines, art zines, poetry zines, and personal zines where people write about their daily lives.
In the AFTER School activity “Make your own zine” we learned few techniques on how to make A3 zines by special way of folding the paper that you can later copy it on a copier machine and have multiple copies of one zine that you can later share. Students had so much fun creating and publishing their zines.

TASK Party
Inspired by the contemporary artist Oliver Herring and other TAB teachers, we started the school year with a task party. It is a fantastic activity that sets the tone for collaboration, material and idea exploration and problem solving in the classroom. Students select a task out of a box and then they complete the task, but have to use design and out of the box thinking in order to be able to complete the tasks.
TAB Art Classroom
TAB classroom does not follow the factory style logic where all students create similar artwork. In a choice based classroom, students are the artists that choose the studio or studios they want to work in and make choices of materials, ideas and processes. This approach develops all the 21st century skills and teaches students to think like artists.

Gelatin Printmaking
Gelatin printmaking is a really exciting technique. It is a form of mono printing which means no two prints are the same. The softness of the gelatin allows the artists to capture and print intricate details. The emphasis is on the process of experimenting with textures, shapes and and experimenting rather than on the final outcome.
