This course is structured around the 8 Studio Habits of Mind - a framework that explores the different ways in which artists think and relate to the world around them. The "big ideas" explored within the habits of mind can apply to any discipline and promote a well-rounded way of thinking that encourages creative problem solving and a growth mindset.

Thumbnail sketches are quick, rough drawings that plan out the composition of a piece and work through numerous visual "solutions" to a design "problem."
Thumbnail sketches are a great way to explore as they are a space to try out new things. Since they are quick drawings with little detail, they are a safe place to make mistakes, learn, and revise. Artists create a lot of thumbnail sketches as a way to pre-plan an artwork and work out potential areas of concern.
For this class, you will be asked to create a number of thumbnail sketches for each of the projects.
