Learning Through Visual Thinking Strategies
~Co-presented with Panta Rhea Foundation and Meridian University’s Transformational Education Institute~
The Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) teaching method and school curriculum centers on open-ended yet highly structured discussions of visual art, significantly increasing students’ critical thinking, language, and literacy skills along the way. This afternoon workshop presented a fascinating learning experience for people of all ages. Participants engaged in discussion and reflection—individually and as members of a group—which led to new insights about themselves and their understanding of learning environments.
