Standards and Studio Habits

The Georgia Standards of Excellence were created based on our previous Georgia Performance Standards, teacher and community input, and the National Core Art Standards. The Studio Habits of Mind were created to help teachers, students, and families understand the learning and thinking that occurs in art studios and classrooms.

Below you will find information on the connections between the Studio Habits of Mind and the National Core Art Standards. I am currently working on how the Studio Habits of Mind fit with the Georgia Standards of Excellence and will share that work when it is complete.

The Appendix below was created by the authors of Studio Thinking from the Start and is also available on their website. Their ideas have inspired many art teachers including myself and I am indebted to and grateful for their scholarship.
