Description: The world of visual learning is a primary way of knowing. It embeds visuo-spatial reasoning and number skills, essential for numeracy understandings and is developed through creating art and design works. The world of visual art and the design is underpinned by the world of perspective, space, proportion, ratio and measurement along with abstract concepts that inform problem-solving and the construction and design of objects in the material and digital world. Artist/designers work with images and other visual systems, such as three-dimensional models, as their cognitive tools, and this numerical, spatial and diagrammatic knowledge can both reflect and affect thought. Engaging with visual arts learning enables students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and their application across learning areas.
