In a class full of 40 students, flexible seating allows students to engage and take charge of their own learning by choosing what works best for them. For every Art project we have, students are given two to four weeks of studio time to work. Often, students choose to work at the table, but when given a group or pair project, they are given flexibility if they want to work at the countertops, tables, the floor, or even outside to get their work done. Making my students comfortable is key to motivating them to stay engaged during my class without disrupting their artistic flow. With a spectrum of students who like to wriggle around in their chairs to those who prefer to stand, giving students another seating option can positively affect my students' attitude and behavior as well as match the learning environment to a 21st Century classroom. Almost always, students prefer to either stand, work outside, or work at the countertops to complete their projects as it keeps them more engaged to create inspirational artworks without disrupting their peers because the regular chairs I have are uncomfortable. For example, if my student is building a three-dimensional model, it is easier for students to be able to stand to move around or have a stool where it allows them the same movement flexibility as standing and does not become an obstacle in their process. The padded stools that I have selected offers students this choice that will allow for more movement, especially if they need room for movement to process the next steps of their artwork!
