BS T A C .

Today's high school classroom is a space that holds and teaches creative minds, but the space itself lacks its own expression. The classroom should be envisioned as a place that functions in multiple modes depending on the lesson being taught or the learning style that best represents the student.

This can be done in an artful way by thinking of the lessons art teaches students in its own, collaborating, creative thinking, making, and freely expressing.

These lessons are the motives of what a classroom should have to engage students more and change the narrative of future learning environments.

PRO POS ING.

The process of making or creating art should be utilized in curriculum and design, in order to improve student health, communicative skills, creative thinking, engagement, and personal expression. This can be done by designing space for students that encourges collaboration, making, flexibility, and caters to the students learning style.

EXI STI NG.

The current focus in high school education surrounds curriculum and methods to improve test scores. The treatment of space within schools lack creativity and have become outdated from today’s growing technological needs.

Students can become unengaged, suffer academically, mentally, and socially because of the wrong teaching method or isolating learning environment.
