This art enrichment program offered in the AM, is structured closely to the Studio Habits of Mind. Artists have a variety of habits that help them grow and improve their craft and the reason I love using these habits of mind in my elementary art classroom. These studio sessions help students become intentional about their practice. The skills they learn easily transfer across disciplines. The students are challenged in areas such as OBSERVATION. We are “Learning to attend to visual contexts more closely than ordinary ‘looking’ requires, and thereby to see things that otherwise might not be seen.” The students create authentic artwork and ultimately further their skills outside the classroom.
