Event Summary

How do we learn to look? And how does this connect to learning how to make? Join three artist educators to explore how visual literacy can help foster a critical understanding of the visual world, and how material literacy can enable critical responses to it.

Event Description

How and when do we learn how to look? What skills are required to translate looking into understanding, and how does this connect with the material literacy required in making? In our upcoming session of make online, we will hear from three artist educators about their unique approaches to looking and making in a variety of educational contexts and mediums. We will explore how visual literacy, or learning how to look, can help foster a critical understanding of the visual world, and how the material literacy of making can enable critical responses to it. Each speaker will give a short presentation of their work back-to-back, after which there will be time for audience questions. This event is free and open to all.
