Artist Studio Habits
Studio Habits of Mind
Identify & describe 8 important types of cognitive activities that artists engage in when making
& reflecting on works of art.
1. Develop Craft:
Technique : Learning to use tools, materials and artistic conventions
Studio Practice: Learning to care for tools, materials, and space
2. Engage & Persist:
Learning to embrace problems of relevance within the art world and/or of personal importance, to develop focus and other mental states conducive to working and persevering at art tasks. Perseverance!
3. Envision:
Learning to picture mentally what cannot be directly observed and imagine possible next steps in making a piece.
4. Express:
Learning to create works that convey an idea, a feeling, or a personal meaning.
5. Observe:
Learning to attend to visual contexts more closely than ordinary "looking" requires, and thereby see things that otherwise might not be seen.
6. Reflect: Question & Explain
Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process.
Evaluate
Learning to judge one’s own work and working process and the work of others in relation to standards of the field.
Learning to reach beyond one's capacities, to explore playfully without a preconceived plan, and to embrace the opportunity to learn from mistakes and accidents.
7. Stretch & Explore:
8. Understand the Art World: Domain & Communities
Learning about art history and current practice.
Studio Thinking is Critical Thinking
All artists, students and professionals, raise questions, think, reason, solve problems and
reflect on artwork and processes.
Artists comprehend, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate problems using learned art skills
and content knowledge.
Learning the Studio Habits
1. Students review habits
2. Engage in activities to learn the studio habits
3. See habits aligned to project guidelines & rubrics
4. Reflect on habits during and after art-making experiences
5. Discuss habits during pair & share critique
6. Reflect on studio habit prompts during self-assessment
