Abstract

This study concerns the design of a prototype workshop focused on the embodiment of the creative process of Art Thinking and the subsequent measurement of its effectiveness. To measure the effectiveness of the Art Thinking Workshops, the research group used Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and Inquisitiveness—which are based on Emotional Intelligence and Creativity—as indicators for evaluation. Consequently, it was found that the Art Thinking Workshops contributed to the improvement of Multiple Intelligences and Inquisitiveness. The Art Thinking Workshops showed improvements across all eight modules of Multiple Intelligences, with particularly significant changes in interpersonal, logical and mathematical, and spatial intelligence. The Art Thinking Workshops also displayed improvements in all four main factors of Inquisitiveness. In particular, there was a significant change in the ability to respond to situations and creativity.
