The evolving presence of information technolo-
gies and growing availability of networked com-
munication media change our ambient environ-
ment and actions involving creation, research, and
learning. The ubiquitous presence of metaphors
used as a tool for translation of meaning has a
crucial influence on the ways we are shaping our
actions. Metaphors present in our visual and verbal
environment include iconic and symbolic images,
representations inspired by the rules and phenom-
ena observed in nature, as well as simulations and
visualizations of concepts and events presented
in metaphorical way. Nature derived metaphors
serve as the enrichment of interdisciplinary mod-
els and support data visualization, information
and knowledge visualization, data mining, and
semantic web. This caused a need for combining
metaphorical visualization with artistic principles
and working on metaphorical way of learning and
teaching using art and graphic metaphors for the
information and communication purposes. The use
of metaphors is prevalently aimed at improving
one's power of conveying meaning by merging
information visualization with the principles of
creative design, integrating art and science, and
visualizing knowledge in graphical form. A set
of reasons for focusing attention on metaphors
as a way of communication include an impact of
the online way of learning and teaching and the
global dimension of the multicultural society of
learners that differ in their cultural, linguistic, or
experiential background but share resources and
tools. Approaches to visual learning consist of
visual presentation of scientific concepts, creat-
ing art by finding inspiration in a science-based
topic, and learning by arranging data visually into
a structured whole.
