HANDS-ON STUDIO WORKSHOP
A Tools For Thinking Workshop {Ticketed Event}
Robert and Michele Root-Bernstein
Discover how art can unlock learning in any field and simultaneously stimulate both
individual and collaborative creativity! In their book, Sparks of Genius (Houghton Mifflin,
1999), the Root-Bernstein's introduced the concept of thirteen thinking tools that
underpin creative thinking in all disciplines. This workshop explores five of these
thinking tools in an integrated, trans-disciplinary manner: observing, abstracting,
recognizing and forming patterns and synthesizing. The object of the workshop is to
illustrate how the tools can be used in a classroom setting and to demonstrate the ways
in which they can be integrated into any curricular material. Participants will be asked to
observe and re-observe various cultural or scientific artifacts; they will find patterns
within their observations; from these patterns, they will abstract out a small essential set
of qualities; these abstracted qualities will be the basis for creating “rules” upon which to
generate individual “quilt” blocks (pattern forming); and finally, groups of participants will
create a completed “quilt” that synthesizes the diverse, yet unified, vision of their
individual blocks. As a test of the efficacy of the exercise, each participant will then be
challenged to determine the abstract “rules” governing the creation of each quilt, and
identify the patterns and qualities that inspired it. In this way, the workshop ultimately
demonstrates the integration of aesthetic, sensory forms of understanding with
analytical, factual ones. Sheraton Willow AB, 2nd Fl
