Visual thinking is an integral part of many forms of creativity. Research indicates that creative individuals across domains – art, science, music, etc. – most often have a preference for visual thinking. Opportunities to work creatively in the visual mode are necessary to support the creativity, STEAM development, and visual thinking abilities that are essential for 21st century living and learning. Several Common Core State Standards highlight representation of knowledge through visual modes, and our students need both creativity and visual abilities to succeed in STEAM curricula. Resources will be provided for integrating creativity and visual thinking projects across the K-12 curriculum.
