This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB). In 1974, Katherine Douglas introduced her two-sentence curriculum: (1) What do artists do? (2) The child is the artist. This was the birth of TAB. Although it wouldn’t be called TAB for many years, this is the definitive origin of TAB.

Teaching for Artistic Behavior celebrates its fiftieth anniversary, championing child-centered art education and innovative teaching methods since 1974.
