Uncovering OASIS: Critical Thinking Made Transparent in a Student Residency Program
NAEA Museum Education
42

Ms. Sotto, you wrote, “On the first day of Classroom-in-Residence at the Hammer, students were guided to complete OASIS with one work of art simultaneously. By the fifth day, they could select the work of art they wished to investigate and completed the routine on their own.” I’m an artist-in-residence and often have only four days in a classroom. Is there a process of attaining these results in less time? Are there documented ways of including these critical thinking process while actually working with other topics, such as my own residency “Interpreting Body Language Through Gesture Drawings?” Thank you!
