Chorus: Studio habits of mind,
How can they support our creativity?
Focus the work and you’ll find,
Success in productivity,
Take a class in your field,
Push yourself to the task
Imagination revealed,
Can you feel it, I ask?
Take note of the room,
And bring your answer to the floor,
When the urge comes to grow let yourself out the door,
And understand you play a part in this world of art,
You play a part in this world of art. (Repeat)
