PHILOSOPHY: My first ever 'talk to parents' was in 1984 and it was about this very idea - visual literacy and the wider benefits of studying in the subject. As a new teacher, that talk formed the foundation of my philosophy and the first expression of a passionate advocacy. It was before reading Eisner's Creation of Mind, but highly infuenced by the magnificent teaching of Lindsay Boughton. I say, we can't stop until VA is a compulsory subject.
