Visual and Spatial Intelligence
The ability to represent the spatial world internally in your mind and record impressions of the world in visual ways.
These students tend to think in pictures and need to create vivid mental images to retain information. They enjoy looking at maps, charts, pictures, videos, and movies.
The "Art Smart" Student
- Learns best by working with hands
- Loves color, graphics, photos
- Would rather draw than write
- Reads maps, tables, charts, and graphs more easily than others
- Draws on everything--tests, workbooks, textbooks, scratch paper--may get in trouble for doodling or graffiti
- Sometimes finds class boring because the teacher talks too much
- May be labeled a daydreamer
