Activity 7.4

My Mindsets


                                     Growth                                  Fixed

In undergrad I took a Science of Art class and we had to complete a weekly drawing based on a scientist's quote. This drawing is supposed to represent my mindsets. The areas I have more a fixed view of are growing off stunted branches, most stopped growing after knots occurred. The areas that I feel I have more of a growth mindset about are sprouting from long, winding, and complex branches. Clearly they took effort to grow in such a way.

*I should note that I put IQ on a fixed mindset but not necessarily intelligence.

  1. I really like this graphic Rachel! I agree the IQ itself is fixed but intelligence is broad and can be defined in a variety of ways. Intelligence can be viewed as abilities and it appears you have various abilities in which you hold a growth mindset! Thanks for sharing!

  2. Rachel, I really like the format of your response! I can tell that although your IQ may be fixed, creativity is something that shows your growing intelligence through the creation of this lovely graphic, crafting, and music.

  3. This tree is a compelling metaphor for Dweck's theory, Rachel. Interesting!
