is a Visual Practitioner?
HELLO
AND WELCOME

Welcome
to our site and welcome to the world of "visual practitioning".
If you've managed to find us, chances are you have some inkling
about who we are and what we do. Perhaps you are a practitioner
yourself, or perhaps you have worked with one of our colleagues.
Or perhaps you have stumbled across this site as you've surfed
the web looking for interesting 'graphic' resources.
However
you have come across us, please know that we are glad to make
your acquaintance and hope to offer you a helpful glimpse into
our emerging international community and unique way of working.
WHO
ARE WE?
"So",
you may be asking, "just what is a visual practitioner anyways?"
In a funny way, we as a group have been asking this question for
many years, and continue to do so. In a nutshell, we are an emerging
grassroots network of diverse practitioners who use visual methods
to assist learning and communication between groups and individuals.
We
are an informal community of like-minded individuals - bound together
by our strong beliefs in the power of "visual thinking" … knowing
innately that a picture is truly worth a 1000 words, we come together
to share our experiences, trade resources, support and encourage
each other, and, year by year, raise the profile of our unique
and growing profession.
We
are a new association, just having formed in 2003, although the
roots of our profession extend formally back to the 1970s (and
much further back if you consider the history of visuals over
the eons!).
