CTS A | Week 1 What is Critical Thinking 01. Describe your understanding of critical thinking that you had before the class, and reflect on what you may have learned. (158 words)

Before this class, I believed critical thinking was primarily about logically analyzing situations and solving problems. However, I’ve learned that critical thinking involves questioning assumptions, recognizing biases, and making evidence-based decisions (Facione). This broader perspective has shifted my approach to problem-solving, allowing me to engage with the complexities of issues and consider multiple viewpoints (Lai). As a result, I can now apply this skill to my time management in Studio and CPJ, improve my Photography compositions, and refine technical approaches in Craft Workshop and Digital Skills.

02. What have you learned about Mindfulness? How might you integrate this into your learning environment? (84 words)

Initially, I viewed mindfulness as simply being present in the moment. However, research shows that mindfulness can enhance focus, stress management, and emotional regulation (Shapiro et al.). This insight has led me to integrate mindful practices, like breathing exercises, into my workflow, which helps me stay focused and calm, improving my creativity and design process (Schoeberlein and Sheth).

03. Describe an eventful moment you have experienced in this class. (63 words)

The self-reflection exercise in class was impactful, especially when reflecting on my long-term goals. It pushed me to think critically about my future and self-worth, prompting personal growth. Studies show that self-reflection boosts awareness and development (Grant et al.), which I’ve found helpful in deepening my creative practice, particularly when considering artists like Miles Johnston, whose work explores the complexity of emotions and self-awareness.

From time to time I like to share some of the work of artists that inspire me. The art of Miles Johnston just floors me everytime. I never get tired of losing myself in his creations and heartily agree with his philosophy too. From his bio: 'I have a strong sense that art makes the world a better place, and I am giving all I can to be of service in this way.' Hope you like it. ✏🖋🖌 #milesjohnston #milesart #surrealism #surrealartwork #graphiteartist #onpaper_art #newcontemporaryart #conceptualartists #newaesthetic #abstractartistsofinstagram #pencildrawings✏️ #monochromeart #linedrawings #insideyourhead #artislifeisart #artisgood #freedomthinker #artforever #freeyourmindandthink #artstagram #anthonyhodgsonart https://www.instagram.com/anthonyhodgsonart/p/CYj2K2EsbNF/?utm_medium=tumblr

As an art enthusiast, do you live for images like this one – entitled, “Panopticon” – by UK-born, Malmö, Sweden-based @miles_art?⁣ ⁣ To some, this may merely seem like an oddball graphite drawing of a honeycomb-headed lost soul. ⁣ ⁣ But to those who love discovering artistic Easter eggs, Panopticon's miniature face (at chin level) with 👃nose pointing due South is a stroke of quirky genius.⁣ ⁣ Fantastic drawing discovered via @durmoosh!⁣ …⁣ posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CIminVpofrc/
