+ – ARTISTS are HIGHER ORDER THINKERS – “How mysterious is Imagination; this Queen of the Faculties is both analysis and synthesis.” Charles Baudelaire Visual Artists synthesise imagination, skills, technologies and existing knowledge from many disciplines to investigate and communicate ideas. As with Scientists, Artists value play and playfulness that sparks unfettered curiosity about world. They work holistically, utilizing the experiential and intellectual curiosity of body, mind and spirit to intentionally compose meaningful invitations for their audience. Artful play is of a much higher order than many give it credit when delivered using Experiential Educational strategies.

Artists have a drive to express, reflect and examine the things many people take for granted.
The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition.
Esner, E 2002
Artists are meaning makers and their language is visual not words. Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail.
+ Artists translate data to images An artist’s impression of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The image of water vapor Jupiter's moon Europa was constructed by an artist.
