Final Artist Statement


Through the thinking caps series, I aim to capture the essence of the diverse intelligences the hats represent: the creative mind, the synthesizing mind, and the respectful mind. The hats pay homage to those who have exemplified these qualities in unique and extraordinary ways. Often under-recognized in traditional schooling, these minds have not only made great strides for humanity throughout history, but are expected to be some of the most relevant and useful thinkers of the future. The diversity in media I have selected to create the hats is a metaphor for the uniqueness and originality of each type of mind. My wish is to expand the notion of intelligence and provoke the viewer to recognize the importance of diversity in thinking and education.
