Studio Habits of Mind Posters
Tap into your student’s critical thinking skills with these 8 Studio Habits of Mind art room posters. Created by Harvard researcher, Lois Hetland, the Studio Thinking framework represents best practices for art students and educators. These Habits mirror what working visual artists do to succeed.
What’s great is that you can teach the 8 Studio Habits of Mind (SHOM) in any order at any age level. Additionally, they’re effective for both traditional teaching methods as well as TAB teaching (Teaching for Artistic Behavior).
Use these signs in your instruction by assigning classes to focus on one Habit during their work time. For example, one lesson can be centered on learning to blend paint better (develop craft). This will help students think about art as being process-based, and not product-based.
This 8 Studio Habits of Mind poster pack ties in well with any art curriculum, too.
I designed these art room signs with a bright, rainbow glitter look. They’d look great in any elementary or middle school setting. Also included in this bulletin board set are borders and letters spelling out, “Studio Habits of Mind.”

I love these posters! So far I just printed the small ones. I have them printed in the pretty bright colors and laminated. I have been sharing them with my art classes. Love that they describe each habit if mind simply and emphasize key words with color. Thank you for this very useful resource! – Danielle M.

I love this! It’s perfect for my 3rd-5th graders to learn best practices for the art room in a more mature, studio setting. (And the colors are amazing.) – Allison W.

I am excited to use these posters next year. I was excited to receive them that I already sent them to be printed and laminated for my room. I learned about the Studio Habits in my teaching course recently and loved how the Studio Habits align and help you to make sure you reach each Standard and am hoping to implement it next year.
Thank you for creating these posters, the students were engaged with them and they made the classroom bright and colourful
I have it on a board near where the hand washing line is so that students can read it while they wait.
These posters are so great. I refer to them all the time in my art room and recently started incorporating them into my slides as well to help students and admin realise the work we artists do with each step of creating.
Great way to post the standards. If you use a whiteboard, you can use magnets next to the ones you are working on any particular day.
