BENEFITS

Going Visual

Using visual tools gets to the heart of the problem. By working more upstream than conventional approaches, you’re able to influence directly the source of creativity. And the effort involved in seeing the process through to completion. Visual tools allow you to model, and your pupils to replicate, this process — generating, organising and executing ideas into new patterns.

Why Going Visual Works 

When visual tools are used to prompt and support the creative process from first spark to final presentation, you can expect to see your pupils:

• Generating new ideas freely and fluently
• Exploring alternative perspectives to their automatic responses
• Showing greater levels of persistence when facing difficulties
• Turning wild and incoherent ideas into organised outputs
• Managing their creative efforts by a growing understanding of how the process works
• Probing and learning from others’ creativity
• Discovering how to extend their creative methods to new areas of study
