Visual Thinking StrategyGroup Lessons
Enhance children's language development through engaging group discussions about art.
What is Visual Thinking Strategy?
Visual Thinking Strategy (VTS) is an educational method that uses art to develop critical thinking and communication skills. Through carefully facilitated discussions about visual art, students learn to observe, analyze, and articulate their thoughts.
Example VTS Questions:
- 1.What's going on in this picture?
- 2.What do you see that makes you say that?
- 3.What more can we find?
Facilitator's Role:
- •Paraphrase comments neutrally
- •Point to observations
- •Link related comments
