Visual Thinking class Intro
This document outlines the key elements of a course called "Visual Thinking" taught by Michael Kieley. The course aims to teach students how to use images and visual problem solving to address complex problems. It emphasizes learning through making art rather than just reading about art. Some goals of the course include developing skills in perception, critiquing and interpreting images, and enhancing creativity. A variety of visual art forms will be explored, with an emphasis on having a fun and expressive creative process.
