Week 4 – STUDIO HABITS should ALWAYS be at the front of your mind as you come in and make art… How are your STUDIO HABITS?

I can… describe the importance of building relationships between diverse groups of people.

Learn To Draw “Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.” 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

Week 3 – We are now in the thick of the art making process… how are you doing on a DAILY BASIS in the Art Studio?

I can… recognize the impact of different relationships on MY well being and the well being of OTHERS.

“Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. Make. Good. Art.” ~ Neil Gaiman

“As IMPORTANT as MAKING mistakes is, it is equally important to LEARN from those mistakes” – Frank Korb

We are going to look at Daily and Weekly Studio Habits as a formative and perhaps summative assessment. How one works in the studio has a huge affect on how they make their art and you are going to be aware and knowledgeable of your studio choices.

Let us leave the Studio Habits of Mind up here for ONE MORE week – who has looked at them? Comment on them in YouTube for extra STUDIO HABITS POINTS – only in my head…
