Do you teach a disciplined-based art curriculum or a choice based one?

I think that in my classroom I would have both a discipline based program as well as a choice based one.  I think that its important to have a structured program that is guided through DBAE. This gives you a structure to work off of so that students achieve a certain level of understanding from the beginning of their education to the end. I also believe their art time, which you should allow more freedoms. However I think that more of these freedoms come later on in the education when they are not learning as much of the foundations. So, a student in a advance studio class in high school would be more accepting to a choice based education as they have the foundation needed to make the choice necessary for a successful project.
