Direct Build on what is known

Explore Investigate different waysRemember Recall past experiences to

extend their capacity tointerpret new information

Imagine Visualize, fantasize in order todevelop new ideas andunderstandings

Mediated Use stimulus material tocreate images

Qualities and Relationships How can textures, light, colorrelationships and size affect the finalproduct?

By interpreting visual forms, studentscan share their

understandings of theworld. The images they

create alsohelp them remember

informationand cross the imaginary

boundariesof key learning areas.
