  Students will continue with the Advanced Studio program to develop a comprehensive portfolio of artworks. Through a two year sequence of alternating projects, each student enrolled in Advanced Studio and Portfolio Preparation will complete a substantial body of work for his/her portfolio. Students wishing to finalize their portfolio in Art may do so in their senior year with Portfolio Preparation, or the more rigorous AP course. The course will include a digital imaging unit, whereby each student will learn to photograph and edit their digital portfiolio. In addition to the regular classroom instruction, Advanced Art and Portfolio Preparation students will benefit from visits to museums and galleries throughout the year. Students are required to keep a research journal, and must present an exit portfolio for course credit.

  Topic 4

  
  Creative Thinking
  
  The following attitudes and activities seem to be necessary for creative thinking, and have been observed in all truly creative people regardless of profession.

  • Training and practice of right brain functions
  • Suspension of judgment; making disconnected jumps in thinking
  • Openness to new stimuli, new ideas, new attitudes, new approaches
  • Willingness to take risks; making "leaps of faith", lessening inhibitions
  • Freedom in subjective thinking; expression of emotions and personal realities
  • Intuitiveness, "playing hunches" to generate spontaneous ideas
  • Freedom to make outlandish responses; rejecting fear of being "wrong" or unconventional
  • Rejecting destructive criticism, prejudices, indiscriminate praise
  • A childlike attitude of creative play; tinkering with ideas, materials, structures, a "fun" attitude toward experimentation
  • Freedom to fantasize, unconventional imagining
  • Divergent thinking: simultaneous processing of ideas, fluency of ideas
  • Acceptance of non-ordinary realities, contradictions; ability to tolerate and manipulate puzzles, ambiguities
