- Summary:
- From Project-Based Learning to Artistic Thinking follows the course of a year-long experiment in which the students were tasked with recreating a McDonald's Happy Meal by making all the components-from food to packaging-by hand from local ingredients. It was meant to test a hypothesis that a very well-designed project in the arts can teach high school students academic skills and habits of mind while increasing motivation, emotional intelligence, creativity, and holistic thinking skills.
