Student Work Examples

The work by students in this color insert from Studio Thinking 2: The Real Benefits of Visual Arts Education is annotated to show the studio habits of mind. One example focuses on the decisions of a student who closely observed the model and translated what he saw to paper. A second shows the work of a student who expanded her artistic voice. A third traces the changes in a student’s work over four years. In the final example, students mounting an exhibition of individual and collaborative work demonstrate several habits, including Understand Art Worlds.
