Thinking & The Creative Process

Bloom's Taxonomy




Here's another version of the same thing....


Which one works best for you?

Assignment: Re-create Bloom's Taxonomy in your process journals. Make it make sense for you. 


LFAS Students Are...

Passionate and talented Arts' students, who's passion is clearly demonstrated by their full participation in the curriculum. 


Translation: Teachers are less concerned with natural talent, and more concerned with work ethic. To have an effective creative education, students need to be "coach-able." Therefore, teachers at LFAS are looking/marking for the following qualities:

1) Resilience

  • Students who are able listen to feedback, and implement said feedback into their own practice
  • Students who take their own initiative to overcome challenges

2) Creative Thinking ("Novelty Factor"/ Generating Ideas / Developing Ideas)

  • Students who use their creative ideas as a form of self-expression
  • Students who are able to generate new ideas
  • Students who are able to develop a body of creative work
  • Students who are willing to take risks with their thinking

3) Collaboration & Participation (Relational Learning / Collaborative Relations)

  • Students who are engaged listeners
  • Students who clarify and extend questions (translation: students who strive to understand and then take it to the next level)
  • Students who contribute to plans
  • Students who solve conflicts or challenges
  • Students who share and connect ideas to others
  • Students who give and receive constructive feedback
