Lenses

The Blue School Lenses are adapted from modalities that originated during the development of the Blue Man character. Like children, the Blue Man character continually explores and researches the world around him. These lenses are mindsets or approaches children, teachers, and others in our community can assume to explore work, academic areas, an environment, and materials. By exploring subjects or materials from a variety of perspectives, children yield multiple discoveries and develop critical life skills and practices.

THE 6 LENSES:

• Group Member – the lens of collaboration, connection, and global citizenship
• Scientist – the lens of curiosity, critical thinking, experimentation and analysis
• Hero – the lens of perseverance, commitment and leadership
• Trickster – the lens of provocation, innovation, play
• Artist – the lens of imagination, instinct and creative expression
• Innocent – the lens of emotional awareness and mindfulness
