An Introduction to Visual Narrative Workshop (A Narrative-Based Medicine Offering)

Develop your observational skills, visual acuity, and reflective capacity — all essential tools in the study and practice of medicine — during a guided tour of works at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in this experiential workshop. Discover the value of visual storytelling for both professional and personal growth through an exploration of visual narrative in a gallery and museum context.

Through viewing, describing, discussing, and creating visual art, learn how to:

  • Practice alternative ways of perceiving
  • Develop a vocabulary to articulate what they see
  • Practice variations in narrative approaches to “change the story”
  • Reflect on their cognitive and affective responses to visual images and narratives
  • Practice art-making as a means of understanding and reflection
