Understand the World

This studio habit was originally named "Understand (Arts) Community," but Wolfston changed its name to "Understand the World" to make the concept more universal. This SHoM encompasses learning about culture and history, current practices and innovation, and interacting with others through various art forms.

 

Wolfston realized that in order to understand the world, first her students had to understand themselves. Using paper, glue, scissors, paper clips, a hole punch, and coloring tools, students created personalized mobiles reflecting their values and the studio habits they connected with the most.
