IL 2372 - VISUAL THINKING AND LEARNING
THIS CLASS WILL FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING VISUAL CULTURE IN A BROAD SENSE. WE WILL USE STRATEGIES FROM AESTHETICS AND ART CRITICISM AS A MEANS TO UNDERSTAND A VARIETY OF ARTWORKS FROM DIFFERENT TIMES AND PLACES. FOCUSING ON VISUAL THINKING AND VISUAL LITERACY WILL PROVIDE A NEW WINDOW INTO THINKING ABOUT THE USE OF OBJECTS AND ARTWORKS IN CLASSROOM SETTINGS THAT BLEND ART, HUMANITIES, AND SCIENCE. MUCH OF THE CLASS LEARNING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE CONTEXT OF FIELDTRIPS AND PROJECTS BASED IN LOCAL MUSEUMS.
