Is Choice Always Choice?

Choice is a unifying term when we discuss the spectrum of art ed that runs from DBAE to TAB. Almost all teachers offer choice, right? 
​
To answer this question we have to think in the context of Choice versus choice. Choice, with a captial C, is a pedigological strategy that TAB teachers use to teach artistic thinking. It relies on allowing the student to make decisions that are meaningfully impactful on the art being 

created - content of work, theme, materials, style, when it's finished and what's next are examples of this. 
​On the other hand is choice, with a little c. This type of choice is present in all classrooms but is not used intentionally to teach creativity. It can be used to allow learners to make big decisions but often it's not, instead it provides superficial choice, like what color to paint the background or where to draw the groundline. These little choices don't add up to Choice and are inherently different. When you really get down to it, are the two images I've included with this writing all that dissimilar?
