What is it about?
This paper describes a series of workshops designed to promote independent thinking and learning through drawing and visualisation. The examples are given from a Key Stage 3 group, but the principles could be applied in a range of contexts and levels.

Why is it important?
Knowledge and skill transfer are terms used frequently in education. We teach with the assumption that what is learned will be applied outside the classroom, but we cannot be sure this is happening. The methods described in this paper are based on the principle that knowledge transfer is a separable skill, which can be taught.
Perspectives
I welcome feedback on this paper and the ideas in it. Please get in touch if you are interested in working with us, if you would like more detail about the Thinking Through Drawing programme, or if you have adapted any of these ideas in your own teaching.
