Principles #4:

Visual cognition must be promoted as an alternative learning system.

Why is right hemispheric mode education needed?

Because our culture and its educational system is so lopsided in whit it regards as intelligent thought, visual arts educators must understand and promote a depth of learning and knowing behaviors that are purely visual/spatial in nature.

Howard Gardner's Spatial Intelligence is not heavily promoted in schools and little understood by educators. Visual arts educators must understand the nature of their discipline in depth and promote its unique contributions to students mental development and cognitive abilities. From this foundation visual education can become a basic educational discipline.
