Visual arts is the process and production of various art forms. While many think of visual art as a form that only visually unimpaired can appreciate, it is an art form that all can participate in to focus on creating and community building. Visual arts overall promotes social connections while also empowering the voices represented. This art form can be used outside traditional educational spaces for groups to further their creativity, learn from one another’s processes, and make sense of the world around us.
