Making art & cultivating valuable habits
This story is part of a series showing the culture of continuous learning at KIS.
Each December KIS hosts a visual arts show. This year the theme is responding to your world which is what artists do! Finished drawings, sculptures, and paintings are displayed across campus – the work is imaginative, precise, wild, thoughtful. Each piece represents the skill, growth, and craft choices of the artist.
At KIS we are interested in process. What can you learn in the middle of throwing a set of three bowls or choosing glazes that surprise when fired? What happens to your mind while drawing a still life for an hour? We were curious what habits develop through making art and how those practices transfer to other parts of life too.
A few high school visual arts classes invited us to learn from them. In the video below you’ll hear from 2D and 3D art students and their teachers about the fun, challenge, and value of a creative pursuit.
