Dr. Fay Penrose, PhD, PGCert, SFHEA, BA(Hons), is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Anatomy and the Head of First Year in Veterinary Science at the University of Liverpool. In this recording, she explores the importance of visual and tactile literacy, as well as manual dexterity skills, in STEM subjects within higher education.

Why do visual and spatial skills give students a head start, and how are drawing and making used to help students process and understand information?

This presentation will be of interest to:

• Teachers, parents, and students wishing to understand how arts and science subjects complement each other at GCSE, A Level, and beyond.

• Teachers, parents, and students wishing to understand the role visual arts skills can have in helping students learn.

The presentation was originally heard at the All Party Parliamentary Group for Art, Craft and Design Education in November 2020.
