This chapter explores the relationship between visual thinking in everyday life and the creative mapping and drawing practices employed in art making. The exploration begins with an examination of Rudolph Arnheim’s position that visual perception, with all the inherent affective sensory capacities, is also visual thinking. He describes a collaboration of perception and thought that creates a foundation for exploring the role of drawing and mapping in visual thinking for the everyday. The purpose of this exploration is to highlight the pedagogical implications in making visible our thinking processes as we refigure our experiences and seek alternative worldviews.
