“An art trap is a simple provocation, something unusual and unexpected set up in an area where students will happen upon it and choose to engage or not engage.” Many TAB teachers have expanded upon this concept to meet the needs of their students. 

K-12 students use art traps to ignite creativity in choice-based lessons, overcoming creative blocks with simple, engaging provocations.
