In visual arts students are taught to be creative. They are asked to research and brainstorm to come up with original ideas. They use communication to explain meanings in their artwork or the work of other artists with their teacher or peers. Critical thinking is used to solve artistic problems or think about artworks and explain what they see and think. Students use collaboration to discuss ideas and topics with other students.

As a 5th grade teacher, I like to encourage my students to show what they learn. It is important for them use a method that they are comfortable with. When my students create something whether it be a model or building something, it allows them to use higher thinking skills. Writing and talking about something is effective, but creating engages and motivates my students to understand the concepts in a fun way!

Incorporating the 4 C’s into every subject taught will enable students to apply these skills in class and also into their future jobs/careers.

Coming from a corporate background and into the classroom - the 4 Cs have been around for a while. Giving students these tools will prepare them for life after school Being creative - coming up with new ideas to solve old problems being innovated. Collaboration, no one works in silos, it's important to know how to work with others and the tools that work best. Critical thinking, learning from the past to move forward, learning how to analyze results to determine improvements. Finally Communication - it's key in any environment and believe me, it's lost. Young people do not know how to communicate in real life. It's a problem that needs to be solved. The lack of social skills is outstanding. As someone who's done hiring, kids out of high school and college just don't get it. Above all communication and communication manners needs to be taught, it's becoming a lost art.

I am a secondary visual arts teacher. Creativity, critical thinking and communication are things that we work through daily with every unit that we do. My number one goal is to get students to be independent thinkers and to be able to problem solve without me "telling them what to do," to communicate their thoughts and experiences through their artwork. When directions are given, I find it helps to include choices, giving the freedom of self-expression. In our room demos are always followed with independent creativity and critical thinking, building on what we just did together. I try to prompt struggling thinkers with questions, not direct solutions, and encourage students to help each other with solutions. We do a few collaborative assignments, but most collaboration comes with students helping each other work through production.
