    On campus
    Thinking With Images, as part of the SITE program on artistic
    thinking, explores the role of visual in-ages in education. We will
    examine several points of view on the nature of visual imagery; we will
    see how the visual images of daily experience, dreams, and the imagination
    are developed in the visual arts; and we will identify the roles that
    artistic images can play throughout the school curriculum. The course
    format will combine discussions with hands-on exercises in working with
    visual images. No prior experience in making art is required for these
    exercises.
