Foreword

SOME YEARS AGO, a slim volume called Studio Thinking was


recommended to me. I was a professor teaching courses in both music and
humanities, and the book elucidated certain practices that I, as an artist as
well as a scholar, was instinctively attempting to incorporate in my
classrooms, and it inspired other ideas that improved my pedagogy.
Later, as a university provost, I often recommended Studio Thinking and
its updated edition, Studio Thinking 2, to faculty from various disciplines
with an introduction along the lines of, “It is one of the most helpful volumes
about teaching practices I’ve ever seen.” Little did I know at the time that I
would one day have the privilege of working alongside one of the authors,
Lois Hetland.
When the request came from Teachers College Press to pen the Foreword
to this new iteration of the text, Studio Thinking from the Start, I immediately
agreed. I did so because I believe strongly in the value of the Studio Thinking
lens, and because I want to commend the book—heartily—not only to
elementary teachers but also to principals and other administrators who will
learn much, as I have, about what makes for a successful classroom.
Studio Thinking isn’t just about the art studio. It is about thinking. The
imaginative and creative work of the studio doesn’t really exist without
thinking, and the best thinking doesn’t really exist without imagination and
creativity. The broad value of this work stems from the fact that learning is an
art.
Teaching too is an art, and good teachers are always honing their craft. In
an age when standardized tests too often force teachers to focus inordinately
on the (supposed) product, Studio Thinking is a welcome reminder of the
significance of process. I appreciate how this book encourages a process
rooted in the prospect that learning—artistic and otherwise—begins with the
human capacity to “see”: to observe, to behold, to imagine. With the current
demands placed on teachers (and administrators), a focus on the primary
practice of seeing is not only welcome, but necessary.
If we want our students to think, if we want them to learn, we must
engage them in habits of mind that cultivate their innate abilities. The habits
of artists in their studios can help all of us who teach to hone our techniques
in every classroom engaged in the art of learning and can aid administrators
to see possibilities to enrich our schools for the sake of learners and teachers
alike.
This book has its genesis in the practice of real teachers. Teachers who
read it will find much that is familiar. The author-researchers, who are
themselves teachers, have learned from teachers and then have given their
findings back to the field. Teachers have used the results of that research in
their classrooms and then have given more feedback to the researchers, who
then have shared the discoveries of that circle of scholarship and practice in
this volume, designed especially for elementary educators.
As Jillian Hogan, Lois Hetland, Diane Jaquith, and Ellen Winner
illuminate what many good teachers already do, they help us reflect on
common practices that are truly beneficial, they make explicit some practices
that for many are tacit, and they share what for many may be new practices.
These author-researchers help us enter the classroom with a new lens.
To my colleagues in administration, especially superintendents,
principals, and university deans of education, I commend Studio Thinking
from the Start. I recommend you take the time to try on the Studio Thinking
lens and then consider how it might be useful to the classroom teachers with
whom you work. Perhaps read it with a group and try out some of the ideas.
See how the habits of mind, studio structures, and studio practices might help
you allocate resources and support faculty as they create compelling
classrooms that engage every child in the joy of learning.
No work is more important than that done by teachers who prepare our
youngest citizens. They cultivate in students the habits of mind that set the
course for a lifetime of learning, and yet they receive too little compensation,
too little recognition, and not nearly enough thanks.
If you are a teacher, I hope you will see this book as a gift from its
authors and the many teachers who have helped shape its content. The
knowledge and practices recommended here will help you in your work. As
you continue to hone your craft, I hope you enjoy the fruit of your labor with
young people who have the potential to create the kind of world we all want
to live in.

Fig. 261.—Valves of a Chiton
separated to show the
various parts (anterior valve
uppermost): a, a,
articulamentum; b, beak; j,
jugum; pl, pl, pleura; t, t,
tegmentum.
Fig. 262.—Valves of Chitonellus
separated out (anterior valve
uppermost): a, a,
articulamentum; t, t,
tegmentum. × 2.
The Polyplacophora are characterised, externally, by their usually
articulated shell of eight plates or valves, which is surrounded and
partly kept in position by a muscular girdle. These plates overlap like
tiles on a roof in such a way that the posterior edge of the first,
cephalic, or anterior valve projects over the anterior edge of the
succeeding valve, which in its turn overlaps the next, and so on
throughout. Seven-valved monstrosities very rarely occur.
A certain portion of each valve is covered either by the girdle or by
the valve next anterior to it. This portion, which is whitish in colour
and non-porous in structure, forms part of an inner layer which
underlies the rest of the substance of the valve, and is called the
articulamentum. The external portion of the valves, or tegmentum, is
generally more or less sculptured, and is largely composed of chitin,
impregnated with salts of lime, thus answering more to a cuticle than
to a shell proper. It is very porous, being pierced by a quantity of
minute holes of two sizes, known as megalopores and micropores,
which are connected together by minute canals containing what is
probably fibrous or nerve tissue, the mouths of the pores being
occupied by sense organs connected with these nerves. The
tegmentum of the six intermediate valves is generally divided into
three triangular areas by two more or less prominent ribs, which
diverge from the neighbourhood of the median beak or umbo. The
space enclosed between these ribs is known as the median area or
jugum, the other two spaces as the lateral areas or pleura. The ribs
terminate with the edge of the tegmentum, and are not found on the
articulamentum. In certain genera these areas are either non-
existent, or are not distinctly marked. The sculpture of the lateral
areas (which is, as a rule, much stronger than that of the median
area) will generally be found to resemble that of the anterior valve,
which has no proper median area. In the posterior valve the median
area is very small, while the sculpture of the rest of the valve
corresponds to that of the lateral areas generally (see Fig. 261).
Fig. 263.—First, fourth, and eighth
valves of a Chiton, showing l.i,
laminae of insertion; n, n,
notches; s.l, s.l, sutural
laminae. × 2.
The articulamentum of the intermediate valves is divided into two
equal parts in the middle of the anterior edge, opposite to the beak,
by a sinus. Each of the portions thus formed is again divided by a
notch or suture into two unequal parts, the anterior of which is known
as the sutural lamina, and is more or less concealed by the valve in
front of it, while the lateral part, or lamina of insertion, is entirely
concealed by the girdle. The articulamenta of the anterior and
posterior valves are either simple or pierced by a series of notches
(Fig. 263).
The girdle of the Chitonidae varies considerably in character.
Sometimes its upper surface is simply corneous or cartilaginoid, with
no other sculpture than fine striae, at others it is densely beset with
spines or bristles, or tufted at intervals with bunches of deciduous
hairs; again it is marbled like shagreen or mossy down, or covered
with serpent-like scales. The width of the girdle varies greatly, being
sometimes very narrow, sometimes entirely covering all the valves
(Cryptochiton). As a rule, its outer edge is continuous, but in
Schizochiton it is sharply notched over the anus.
A description has already been given of the dorsal eyes in Chiton
(p. 187), the nervous system (p. 202), the branchiae (p. 154), the
radula (p. 228), and the generative system (p. 126).

Fig. 264.—Girdles of various Chitonidae. A, Radsia sulcata


Wood, × 2; B, Maugeria granulata Gmel., × 3; C,
Enoplochiton niger Barnes, × 3; D, Acanthochiton fascicularis
L., × 4; E, Tonicia fastigiata Sowb., × 4.
The recent Chitons are thus classified by Dr. W. H. Dall:—
Section I. Chitones Regulares.—Anterior and posterior valves
of similar character.
A. Leptoidea.—Insertion plates obsolete, or, if present, unslit;
Leptochiton, Hanleyia, Hemiarthrum, Microplax.
B. Ischnoidea.—Insertion plates sharp, smooth, fissured; with
eaves; Trachydermon, Callochiton, Tonicella, Schizoplax, Leptoplax,
Chaetopleura, Spongiochiton, Ischnochiton, Callistochiton.
C. Lophyroidea.—Insertion plates broad, pectinated, projecting
backward; Chiton, Tonicia, Eudoxochiton, Craspedochiton.
D. Acanthoidea.—Insertion plates thrown forward; Sclerochiton,
Acanthopleura, Dinoplax, Middendorffia, Nuttallina, Arthuria,
Phacellopleura.
Section II. Chitones Irregulares.—Posterior valve abnormal, or
with a sinus behind.
E. Schizoidea.—Posterior valve fissured; Lorica, Schizochiton.
F. Placiphoroidea.—Posterior valve unslit, internally ridged, umbo
nearly terminal; Enoplochiton, Ornithochiton, Plaxiphora.
G. Mopaloidea.—Posterior valve with posterior sinus and one slit
on each side; Mopalia, Katherina, Acanthochiton, Notoplax.
H. Cryptoidea.—With double sutural laminae; Cryptoconchus,
Amicula, Cryptochiton.

forward; Chitonellus, Choneplax.

Fig. 265.—Chitonellus fasciatus Quoy; ant, anterior


end.
Sub-order 2. Aplacophora.—Animal vermiform, foot absent, or a
mere groove, cuticle more or less covered with spicules.
According to Marion, one of the principal authorities on the group,
the Aplacophora are perhaps Amphineura whose development has
been arrested at an early stage, their worm-like exterior being due to
adaptation to surroundings. They have hitherto been found chiefly in
the N. Atlantic and Mediterranean, generally at considerable depths,
and often associated with certain polyps in a way which suggests a
kind of commensalism.
Fam. 1. Neomeniidae.—Foot a narrow groove, intestinal tube
without differentiated liver, kidneys with common exterior orifice,
sexes united, ctenidia present or absent. Genera: Neomenia (Fig.
266), Paramenia, Proneomenia, Ismenia, Lepidomenia, Dondersia.
Fig. 266.—Neomenia carinata
Tullb.: a, anus; gr, ventral
groove; m, mouth.

Fig. 267.—Chaetoderma
nitidulum Lov.: a, anus; m,
mouth. × 3.
Fam. 2. Chaetodermatidae.—Body cylindrical, no ventral groove,
liver a single sac, kidneys with separate orifices into the branchial
cloaca, two bipectinate ctenidia. Single genus, Chaetoderma (Fig.
267).

Order II. Prosobranchiata

supra-intestinal, left half infra-intestinal; heart usually in front of the
branchia (ctenidium), which is generally single; head with a single
pair of tentacles; animal dioecious, usually marine, more or less
contained within a shell, operculum generally present. Cambrian to
present time.

complete; Helcioniscus, branchial circlet interrupted in front.
(b) Rhipidoglossa (p. 225).—Ventricle of the heart traversed by
the rectum (except in Helicinidae), one or two ctenidia; jaw in two
pieces, radula long, marginals multiplied, rows curved.
Of all the Gasteropoda, this section of the Diotocardia approach
nearest to the Pelecypoda, particularly in the least specialised forms.
The auricle, the branchiae, and the kidneys are in many cases
paired, and more or less symmetrical. The ventricle is generally
traversed by the rectum, there is a long labial commissure between
the cerebral ganglia, special copulative organs are usually absent,
while the shell is often nacreous, like those of Pelecypoda of a
