Art With a Degree in Library Science
Discover the captivating world of Day-Old Art and how it can transform your library into a vibrant hub of visual literacy and scientific innovation. Brought to you by Dr. Melvin Hale, an acclaimed artist and former library school professor, this concept intertwines art with cognitive psychology and heuristics, grounded in rigorous research conducted at UCLA.
Are you ready to bring a splash of color and cutting-edge knowledge to your library? Day-Old Art isn’t just yesterday's leftovers; it represents a groundbreaking theory—KBI (know, believe, imagine)—which elevates visual literacy's place in library and information studies. This art form introduces a new perspective by infusing a scientific basis into visual storytelling.
Dr. Hale’s mission is to enlighten librarians and art enthusiasts about this innovative approach, demonstrating how art can transcend aesthetics to contribute significantly to educational and intellectual realms. By adopting the KBI theory, librarians have the opportunity to enrich their institutions with art that not only beautifies spaces but also enhances patrons' cognitive engagement.

Imagine a library where walls are adorned with art illustrating the dynamic interaction of visual literacy and scientific inquiry—a testament to real science emerging from artistic expression. Librarians are invited to connect with this visionary project and become part of a movement that reshapes the perception and importance of visual literacy and knowledge dissemination.
