Room with a View: Ethical Encounters in Room 13
Grube, Vicky
Art Education, v65 n6 p39-44 Nov 2012
In this article, the author describes ethical encounters in Room 13, a schoolroom where children made what they wanted, posed their own questions, and ran an art room like a small business. In Room 13 children had the responsibility to maintain all aspects of the art studio. Specific decisions fell to an annually elected management team, a small group of children between the ages of 7-12. Young children work together as respected partners with the power to impact a large audience of their peers. Students are in charge and collaborate in unconventional ways in this unique art classroom in Scotland.
