I have built a "Scaffold" into my curriculum. This "Scaffold" builds on new and prior knowledge, just like anyone's, however its overall goal is to build on their courage. I am a strong believer in the ability of art to build a young adult's courage and excitement for learning. I even grade my students with this as my goal. My grading focuses less on their abilities and more on their courage to step out of their comfort zones and come into my art room as an artist.
