Abstract	It is not uncommon for art educators to always justify that artmaking is a serious endeavor that requires thought and reasoned judgment. Always, they also find themselves worried that arts will be reduced or eliminated when districts announce that cuts are needed to balance the budget or provide more room for the basics. These are problems often faced by art educators and part of it lies in the public's assumption that the artistic process is a purely emotional, haphazard activity whose role is best viewed as enrichment, rather than necessity. To counter these misconceptions, this article offers evidence to the contrary through an examination of the critical thinking processes evident in the diaries, interviews, and work of artists (Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Kathe Kollwitz, and Hung Liu). In addition, the author examines how artmaking involves cognitive processes by exploring three aspects of critical thinking that are exemplified in the arts: skills, dispositions, and characteristics.
