Type of Session: Workshop
Presenter: Alexandra West
Description of Session:
During this highly interactive workshop, I’ll introduce you to Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) – a fantastic way to get your team collaborating on another level. In a nutshell, we’re going to look at, and talk about, art. Are you thinking, “That sounds scary!” and/or “I know nothing about art!” Well, it isn’t, and you don’t need to!
This is a “no wrong answers” activity that is also a lot of fun. VTS is backed by over 40 years of field research showing its effectiveness and accessibility. It’s proven to increase critical thinking, observation, visual literacy, communication & collaboration skills for all learners – advancing skills you can use to create more relevant products and a stronger community.
