Abstract: Many colleges possess rich art collections that have the potential to expand curriculaand address visual literacy in dynamic ways. However, faculty outside studio and art history departmentsoften shy away from integrating art into their teaching. To build visual literacy skillsusing the campus art collection, a multidisciplinary team created a series of lesson plans for anopen web-based toolkit using ACRL"s Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.This article shares recommendations for others seeking to develop similar multidisciplinarycollections-based teaching programs.
