It is a universally accepted: 

Each human is unique and one of a kind. 

Then why are we expecting the same answers to the same questions from unique students? 

Smart Art is based on the concept that the unique talents in each student need to be expressed to grow. Smart Art guides them to deeper learning and personal expression. 

Yes, we want them to have common knowledge. But expecting them to respond the exactly the same way their individual expression. 

For example: if we watch a sunset over the ocean. I may be fascinated with the light show on the horizon, my son may enjoy a sailboat silhouette, my husband may enjoy digging his toes in the cold wet sand or distant sound of seagulls. We are experiencing the same thing, but enjoying our unique responses . 

Thankfully, Howard Gardner, a Harvard Professor, researched and work to proved that there are numerous ways to measure intelligence. 

The question is no longer Who is Gifted? 

Rather… 

HOW is each unique student Gifted?

Smart Art’s prerequisite surveys will begin the rich process of discovering each students unique intelligence and guide them towards their strengths. 

Their response to two inventories will guide educators, parents and individual students to discover their specific strengths in thinking (Intelligence) and learning preference (Learning Styles). 

This not only saves students and teachers time. These inventories are a clear path to the type of Art that they can use most successfully in Smart Art.
