The document discusses different types of studio spaces that can be used in schools to encourage learning through the arts. It describes mini studios in classrooms that provide essential spaces for using arts as a language of learning. Larger shared studios called ateliers are used by whole school groups but usually with smaller numbers of children and a studio teacher. Ateliers can also be outside spaces. There are different kinds of specialized studios including loose parts studios using recycled materials, light and shadow studios, and technology studios. All of these studio spaces are important for providing environments where children are encouraged to engage with learning through the arts.
