Visual learning

III. Background Theories within the visual rhetoric field are immense. Most research steers within the scientific realm, and centers on the brain and how it controls peoples’ perceptions of images. For example, in Visual Imagery and Perception, Bertolo focuses on the cognitive processes that control the flow of “form, motion, and colour,” exploring the question of how all of the individual features within images are processed, whether they are binded together or processed separately (174). He…

Versace(2009) created a study to examine the effect cross-modal priming presents when interrupted by visual and auditory simulations/masks, in order to prove that the priming effects is contingent to intuition/knowledge. Two experiments were conducted; each consisted of twenty-four students from Lyon 2 University in France, who were all right-handed and had normal/corrected vision. The first experiment focused on visual priming, which consisted of six practice trials and six experimental…

Inside the church of San Marcello al Corso in Rome, there are two frescoes in a series by Francesco Salviati (1510-1563) whose unusual iconography caught my interest during a semester abroad. Though ostensibly depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, in both cases the titular narrative is rendered obscurely in the far background of the work while the foreground is dominated by the bodies of spectators who watch the scene. My senior thesis project, titled “Shaping Spectatorship in…

or clubs. Everyone is different and should be allowed to express their ideas in any way they choose. By removing art classes such as visual art, dance, and drama, from elementary schools, we are taking away some of the very classes in which kids express their feelings and opinions. Although many people think that visual arts classes are not at all important, visual arts are actually extremely important because they help elementary students improve their education through expressing their…

Tone is a very important part of addressing message including choice of your words and your dress. Let’s consider your voice first, if the voice is relaxed then delivering your message would be smooth. If it is shaky, you may not able to spread the message the way you intended. Same goes with nervous which is worst. Personally, I can’t remember any word when I get nervous. I also mumble a lot and voice turn to shaky. Once I remember I was stopped by police while I was waiting at the airport to…

Introduction Several learning disabilities exhibit symptoms that are very similar to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). These disorders affect sensory perception. One is Audio Processing Disorder (APD), another is Visual Processing Disorder (VPD), and the third is Sensory Processing Disorder (VPD). This paper defines these four disorders, explores commonalities among symptoms, and offers suggestions of accommodations that could help in a classroom where multiples of these…

vision or a visual impairment they often need a support network that is composed of their family and friends. Most people instinctively agree to support their loved ones, but they may not truly understand the level of support that might be required. The article, Family Functioning and Low Vision: a systematic review, by Jennifer K. Bambara examines the issues faced by individuals with low vision and the family members that choose to support them. People with low vision are faced with learning to…

The Way Art Moves the Soul Many concerned parents and educators argue that art class it is a waste of the student’s time and that students should be focusing on their academic education. Today, education is defined as attending school to acquire knowledge in the courses of mathematics, science, literature, social studies. Consequently, the art budget is being cut in many public schools. Jesse LaTourette explains that “The main reason for this is because of how costly it can be to the school,”…

This research earned Mead’s a significant position in the field of visual anthropology due to “justifying the use of photography on a massive scale, [and citing] the camera 's imperviousness to progressive theoretical sophistication” during her field work in Bali (Jacknis 1988, 161). That is, Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson…

simply need the credit and never engage deeply with the visual arts. No matter their skill set, art teachers all want students to leave their class with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the visual arts. One way to achieve this is for students to engage with visual arts criticism. Subramaniam, Hanafi, & Putih (2016) note the importance of students engaging with art criticism; “The exercise of art criticism by analyzing works of visual art enhances one’s perception…
