Preferred term

visual metaphor  

Definition

  • Visual metaphor can serve as a powerful tool for learning large quantities of complex subject matter. Students can distill the most important insights from their independent study discoveries, or from a set of readings, and then translate these key insights into the form of a sketched, painted, or computer-designed visual metaphor.
