Schedule Of Events
12:00pm : Visual Thinking Strategies
Carrie Weis will lead a Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) discussion focusing on three pieces from The Public Art Collective. Guests will learn how to "puzzle” out visual imagery and will be exposed to multiple interpretations and a broader understanding of the artwork in our community. We hope you take these new observation skills with you that will enhance any visual experience! VTS is a thoughtfully facilitated way to discuss art. It provides an inclusive, accessible, and respectful dialogue that meets each individual where they currently are in art observation. VTS was developed by Dr. Abigail Housen who has pioneered aesthetic development research for over 30 years and Philip Yenawine, who acted as the Director of Education for a decade at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Together they pioneered VTS to "support the growth of creative and critical thinking skills.”
