Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord. Colossians 3:23
The Studio Habits of Mind are a set of eight dispositions that an artist uses. The wonderful thing about these dispositions is that they offer a language for critical thinking that spans across every discipline (Rankine-Landers, 2015, para 1).
