Studio Thinking Framework

The Studio Thinking Framework is an educational approach that emphasizes the processes and ways of thinking used in studio arts and design classes. It highlights skills such as idea development, craftsmanship, critique, and reflection, helping students learn how to approach creative work intentionally and effectively. By understanding these core practices, students develop habits of mind that foster creativity, problem-solving, and continuous improvement, applicable beyond art classes. The framework offers a structured way to teach and assess these skills, promoting deep engagement and mastery in both artistic and other professional contexts.
