The Studio Thinking Framework

The Studio Thinking Framework is a model developed to enhance learning in arts education, emphasizing the processes artists use in studios. It identifies key "studio habits of mind," such as inquiry, creativity, and reflection. These habits foster skills like experimentation, collaboration, and observation, applicable beyond the arts to various disciplines. By focusing on these cognitive and practical skills, the framework encourages deeper understanding and engagement in learning, suggesting that the methods artists employ can contribute significantly to critical thinking and problem-solving in general knowledge contexts.
