What are the 8 Studio Habits of Mind?

In our art class, we talk a lot about the 8 Studio Habits of Mind. Developed by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the 8 Studio Habits of Mind describe the thinking that teachers intend for their students to learn during the process of creating. These "studio habits" don't just help us think while in art class, but help us think like artists and embrace art everywhere throughout our lives. 

The Studio Habits of Mind help students connect new learning with the artwork they are creating in class. Whatever step of the artistic process students are in, they will learn to identify which Studio Habit they are focusing on each day. The Studio Habits are a part of assessment of student learning to ensure we are meeting the learning targets for all grades.
