Introduction In an art class, creating art is a dynamic process that involves experimenting with different mediums and methods to produce visual, aural, or tactile expressions. Artists frequently use a conceptual framework in this process to help them shape their ideas, themes, and tales.
The conceptual framework acts as a compass, assisting artists in expressing
their objectives and making wise decisions throughout the course of their creative process. This framework may include a variety of things, including philosophical ideas, cultural influences, personal experiences, and societal commentary. Artists can give their creations depth and meaning by establishing a conceptual foundation for them, elevating them from simple aesthetics to provocative remarks.
Additionally, it has become a priority to include the “8 Studio Habits of Mind”
into art school.The “8 Studio Habits of Mind” incorporation into art instruction has also shown to be a useful tool for encouraging students’ artistic development and original thought. These practices, recommended by teachers Ellen Winner and Lois Hetland, provide a road map for developing artistic intelligence and strengthening the creative process.
Observe - learning to perceive visual context looking closely and noticing
things that otherwise might not be seen Stretch and Explore- Playing, trying new things, exploring, making mistakes, and learning from them Reflect Question and Explain: talking about student’s work and working processes Evaluate: talking about what works well, what does not, and learning to judge one's own work, and working process and the work of others Understand art worlds Domain: learning about what artist make Communities: learning to collaborate and understand the artist often interact in groups Express making works that convey personal meaning and interpreting meaning in the works of others Envision- Learning to picture mentally what cannot be directly observed and imagining new artworks and steps to bring them to life.

Conclusion
Finally, art creation in art class encourages students’ creativity and
self-expression. The conceptual framework of the four art world agencies – artist, artwork, audience, and world – aids in understanding the dynamic relationships that shape artistic activities. Furthermore, the eight student habits of mind, which include curiosity, persistence, and reflection, enable students to build a better knowledge and appreciation for art while refining vital abilities for artistic growth.
