Visual Art
Visual art encompasses creative practices that communicate ideas and experiences through visual media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and digital media. Artists use visual elements such as color, form, composition, and perspective to express concepts, emotions, and observations about the world. These practices vary widely across cultures and historical periods, reflecting diverse approaches to representation, abstraction, and meaning-making.
Visual Art and Neurodiversity
Research in recent years has explored connections between different cognitive styles and strengths in visual art practice. Kim Percy’s exhibition Visualising Dyslexia examines how visualization practices and spatial reasoning abilities associated with dyslexia can contribute to artistic creation and visual communication. The project investigates how alternative cognitive processing patterns may offer distinct perspectives and capabilities in visual art-making, challenging conventional assumptions about creativity and cognitive difference.
