Do you know the difference between perspective and perception? The words perception and perspective are commonly confused as the same words, but in actuality they have two different meanings. Perception is the way an individual interprets a piece of work or information. Perspective, however, is one’s point of view. Although the two words are not the same, they are connected because one’s point of view can affect their interpretation. For instance, in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus may view…

24. Julian Treasure started off by talking about an interesting quote from the Hindus, which translated to “The world is sound”. Julian then goes on to mention a statistic on how everything around us is vibrating. I think this is a good hook in the way it grabs the viewer’s attention and gives a clear explanation on what the speaker is going to talk about. 25. He starts off by saying how listening is an active skill and that how hearing is a passive skill. So basically, you hear all the time,…

There could be more than one definition of a beautiful place; they all differ from each other. For example, the sight and sound of ocean waves colliding with each other as they ooze onto the shore of the beach could be a definition of a beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia…

Pictures Imagery gives you so much more insight to what the author is trying to say. Without imagery stories would be so much harder to understand. In the poem, “The Boy at the Window,” by, Richard Wilbur, we see many lines of imagery. Wilbur uses imagery to develop his poem by telling us of many different things that we can picture in our minds. In the beginning of the poem the author says, “The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare a night of gnashing’s and enormous moan.” (L3, L4) The…

Goldstein (2015) states that “perception can involve a process similar to reasoning or problem solving” (p. 52). For example, I have woken up in the middle of the night and as my eyes were adjusting to being open I have thought a person was standing in my room. As I focused on what I thought was the person I started to realize that the shape I perceived as the person was in fact just my dresser across the room. The blob started to take the shape of a rectangle and my brain started to…

Perception Perception is “the process by which individuals organize and interpret their impressions to give meaning to their environment.”, it is not necessarily a reflection of the objective reality of the situation (Langton, Robbins, & Judge, 2016, p. 38). There are three factors that contribute to perception, the individual or perceiver, the target or what they are perceiving and the attributes that are associated with the target, and the context or situation that the event occurs in…

Visual perception is a function of the eyes and brain. Humans see images as a whole rather than in parts. However, images can be broken into different visual elements: line, shape, texture, and color. Like the significance of grammar in languages, these elements are just as important in art. Together, they allow the eyes to form a complete image in the brain. Art is not only limited to paintings on canvas, they can also be three dimensional. While Jean Marende’s carving- “Initial F”- and Paul…

"A wise man once told me that smoke never dissipates. Rather it just spreads into a haze that the untrained eye cannot see. I surmise the smoke he mentioned was my mask. Yet when I look back, I see he had one too.” -Louis-Sanford Drake Thrown into the locker by Garrison-Harris Brook, the local bully, I had felt a thirst for something I never wanted on my hands. My eyes clouded with rage and as I got up, my hands balled into fists. GHB, as the rest of the school called him, didn’t know what was…
