HA! Vision trumps all other senses!!! Flipping thru the info passed out the first day, I've been slowing down to read the notes from Brain Rules a bit more carefully. Even tho we know that vision is important to learning and many, many folks are visual learners ( are there more visual learners now than ever before because of technology?) I feel as if school art so often gets short shrift. However, the 4 C's of 21st Century Skills - Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication, and Collaboration are very closely tied to much of art making. Additionally, information fluency is now a increasingly critical skill,very often tied to the visual aspects of what are anticipated skills necessary for our futures.
It's all about visual memory and visual processing skills. How can I bank on this in the art room?
