Visual Fitness 4 All®
What is it? Why is it important?
Visual Fitness—the ability to decode and encode visual meaning— is a vital survival strategy in our digital world where devices persistently bombard us with graphic information. While the availability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) threatens to think for us, our eyes cannot UNSEE and need to be open to what we do not wish to see. Using Form+Theme+Context (FTC), Visual Fitness helps us see the BIG PICTURE for clarity and understanding.
Renee's talks and workshops for individuals, educators, communities, organizations, and businesses help SEE MORE in life through ART! Take a Visual Fitness 4 All Workout for greater clarity, understanding, and envisioning our past and evolving lives!
