old definition critical thinking = criticism
modern definition critical thinking = a comprehensive intellectual process

It is important to understand
Art is not something that just happens!

Artist = Andrea Nechita
Age =10Lithograph = selling for $11,020.00
Critical thinking skills = unknown
OK . . . . Sometimes it does “just happen”

The making of art or design provides an excellent Usually. . .
The making of art or design requires the opportunity to witness,

Those scores reflect verbal and math skills.
And the ability to think in L O G I C A L terms
![Page 9: critical thinking and the visual arts](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56813184550346895d97f884/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
verbal and math skills are necessary thinking skills for making art
but RIGHT brain thinking skills are not reflected in SAT scores
The more invisible thinking skills . .

Artists and Designers must be willing to take a
position, or defend a position,, conduct appropriate research, and
“live with” the ramifications, and consequences of
their visible expression on very complex issues.

art and design require intellectual courage
as well as intellectual autonomy.

you do that?” .k “looks dumb!”“I don’t like it . .

Those are critical thinking questions designers
must solve in order to develop a creative (successful)
solution to a problem.

Artists have both public and critical ownership of their ideas,
and the critical ability to recognize and
analyze the intellectual success of their failures.
Artists must: P R O B L E M S O L V E !

Questions must be asked such as:
What was used in the past? What is the audience familiar with?
Why was that form used?
What impacted historical expression / design in the past?

What does a Designer do?
He/She orchestrates
the conceptual process of
combining graphic materials:
words
pictures
other graphic materials
To construct a visible communication gestalt
![Page 45: critical thinking and the visual arts](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56813184550346895d97f884/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Gestalt =
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

for example:

These dots have no meaning or content beyond the phenomenon of twelve dots randomly placed

By contrast, these dots have been consciously structured into a visual configuration which has meaning

In a sense, the letter H is not really present
but the human eye perceives the dots
and the human mind connects them into a recognizable pattern
- the structure of a letterform -
