Project Zero - Artful Thinking
“The purpose of the program is twofold: To help teachers create rich connections between works of art and their curriculum; and to help teachers use arts experiences as a touchstone for developing students’ thinking dispositions.”
Accordingly, in the Artful Thinking program, thinking dispositions are developed through the use of “thinking routines”—short, easy-to-learn procedures that help students enact thinking-dispositional behavior in and across the six areas of the palette. For example:
THINK / PUZZLE / EXPLORE
A routine that encourages questioning and inquiry
Consider an artwork/topic:
• What do you think you know about this artwork or topic?
• What questions or puzzles do you have?
• What does the artwork or topic make you want to explore?
