An Artful Thinking Classroom by Jessica Ross Harvard Graduate School of Education and The Global Learning Charter Public School "Artful Thinking was developed to explicitly bring out the connection between art and thinking. There are two reasons for this. The first has to do with how works of art make us think, and the second has to do with what works of art make us think about. By both design and default, art invites deep and extended thought." | | |
