Although advantageous for private enterprise, this development has not been entirely salutary in academia, as the\u0000 discarding of manual graphics also eliminated an invaluable medium of teaching design thinking, creative exploration and ideological values. This article summarizes the results of an experimental course on advanced hand graphics taught within a technology-dominated landscape curriculum. Intended\u0000 to cultivate cognitive and analytical abilities vital for successful design practice, it was simultaneously foreseen as a template for future applications to reinforce design education’s connection to manual graphics. An overview of philosophical objectives, structure and implementation\u0000 is supplemented with student feedback and work specimens, parameters which were collectively evaluated to assess course performance, success and future viability.","PeriodicalId":41039,"journal":{"name":"Visual Inquiry-Learning & Teaching Art","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81456161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we present the concept of appreciation skills as a scheme to promote thought visualization during the art appreciation process. Then, we propose a model\u0000 of metacognition using appreciation skills as a theoretical framework for monitoring and controlling thoughts during art appreciation, and we offer tools to help viewers metacognize their thoughts. Additionally, we present and analyse creative approaches for appreciating art physically through\u0000 multiple senses (sight, touch, sound, smell) as well as practices for visualizing and deepening thoughts through collaborative visual representations. We found that supporting metacognition during the art appreciation process from the perspective of appreciation skills can be particularly\u0000 effective for novice viewers. In addition, the collaborative creation of short videos may encourage non-art major students to visualize their thoughts and have more varied interpretations of artwork.","PeriodicalId":41039,"journal":{"name":"Visual Inquiry-Learning & Teaching Art","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84705646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the educational potential of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for the secondary art curriculum through\u0000 the perspectives and responses of undergraduate art students. The article examines the writing outcomes of a discussion board forum activity that I created to invite the students to share their responses to and reflections on the use of VR/AR technologies in visual art and art education. I\u0000 share the students’ perspectives on VR/AR use for studio art making under the following three themes: (1) excitement about the new art medium, (2) strengths and risks and (3) educational potential for K‐12 curriculum integration. In discussing the students’ reflections,\u0000 contemporary artists’ use of VR/AR is also explored as a resource for art educators. I end the article by providing suggestions for art educators interested in incorporating VA/AR into their art lessons.","PeriodicalId":41039,"journal":{"name":"Visual Inquiry-Learning & Teaching Art","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84670336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For art museum educators, the pandemic also forced consideration of questions about the core activities of art museums, the value of museum experiences and why we\u0000 come together to look at and discuss art together in these public spaces. The physical spaces of museums and direct encounters with objects that were once regarded as essentials of museum education, were now inaccessible or had limited access due to pandemic restrictions. This article presents\u0000 a collaborative project between two art museum education courses and two universities developed during the pandemic as a way to explore some of these questions, design methods of engaging audiences with art and ideas from respective university collections and build new collegial relationships.","PeriodicalId":41039,"journal":{"name":"Visual Inquiry-Learning & Teaching Art","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82389114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
