In most respects, working with images (whether still or moving) is one of the older modalities of art education, but the preponderance and sheer volume of sensate triggers that presently confront the contemporary beholder call upon much more than scanning and taking in the visual field. The learning units that take on this mode of apprehending the world plead for a deeper investment in exploring context—our ways of seeing, personal and social histories, intersections as well as distantiations that impinge on our capacity to see beyond what is evident and how we’ve been taught to read and make sense.
