Visual Thinking Strategies

Look, Think, Share! uses Visual Thinking Strategies to encourage critical thinking and communication skills by asking open-ended questions about art – "What's going on in this picture?", "What do you see that makes you say that?", and "What more can you find?" This allows visitors to examine art, to think critically, and to share observations and ideas. VTS was developed by cognitive psychologist Abigail Housen and museum educator Philip Yenawine. For more information, visit VTS online.

Here you will have the chance to look closely at works of art from the permanent collection at the Everson Museum of Art, and to write about what you see. To begin, click on one of the images below. Later, you will be able to add your thoughts to our website so that they can be shared with others. We hope you have fun!
