But,
WHAT is ARTFUL THINKING?
Artful Thinking helps teachers use works of visual art (paintings, photography etc) in ways that strengthen student thinking and language learning.
the goals
The goals of this program are to help teachers create connections between works of art and the curriculum, and to help teachers use art as a force for developing students’ thinking dispositions.
the method
Using the artist’s palette as a central metaphor, the Artful Thinking “palette” is comprised of six thinking dispositions which strengthen students’ intellectual behaviours. These dispositions are developed through Thinking Routines, which are easy to learn and can deepen students’ thinking in the classroom.
