Visual learning

purpose of this study was to support the dominant view that the visual system is functionally and anatomically dichotomized according to dissociations between the ventral- and dorsal-streams. To illustrate this hypothesis, James, Culham, Humphrey, Milner, & Goodale (2003) examined the case study of patient D.F., who “suffered severe bilateral damage to her occipitotemporal visual system […], while retaining the use of her occipitoparietal visual system” (James, Culham, Humphrey, Milner, &…

medium for scientific observation. The two took their ideas of filming and photographing culture to Bali, Indonesia as well as Papua New Guinea, creating a series of films and photographic studies in the 1950s. Mead came to be known as the pioneer of visual anthropology, being the first to use film as representation anthropologically. Although, ethnographic filming practices developed profoundly in the hands of filmmaker John Marshall who emerged as a self- reflexive, politicized filmmaker.…

Their continuous efforts to educate the community about art education is very inspirational. Art can be displayed in many different forms and there is no correct way to create art. Learning about the different type of art pieces and the specific techniques has been very helpful when understanding the meaning of the work. Ultimately, having your art piece placed in a public setting is such a great accomplishment. Whether people agree…

While art in general or attending art museums doesn’t really interest me, especially having to attend on my much needed day of rest from work and school. For my creative personal response paper, I chose to attend the Dallas Museum of Art this past Sunday. I came across numerous works of art. From paintings to sculptures, and drawings. Most of everything I came across in my opinion, were meaningless. Mostly because I could not decipher what the artist is portraying or the message behind it, while…

“the look which the eyes manifest, no matter what kind of eyes they are, is a pure reference to myself.” – Sartre Naturally, people find eye contact with strangers quite confronting and therefore do anything they can to try and avoid it. In order to avoid eye contact with people in public situations such as being on a bus, people will often look straight ahead at the back of the bus, towards the ground or even out the window. It is interesting to explore the reasons behind why people find eye…

those where traditional methods and drugs have failed. Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession that combines the knowledge and understanding of someone’s mental health. It also combines psychological theories and tactics together with visual art to create a unique approach towards the healing process (“About Us - American Art Therapy Association”). It is designed to help improve the mental health of a patient and allows the therapist…

knowledge by investigating how both visual and motor experience affect the perceptual mechanism that is responsible for the configural processing of actions. In their study, expert ballet dancers were matched with non-expert ballet dancers and they all watched pairs of upright and inverted point light female dance movements and unisex dance movement. Although some ballet movements are gender-specific, males and females train together and therefore they both have visual knowledge of each other’s…

Students were able to take their thumbnails and proceed forward with their projects. I think overall they were able to explore using their final thumbnail. They were more energetic to work on their projects. I broke down the materials into groups and supplied those at different tables. This method worked extremely well in helping to not only keep myself organized but the students also. Student 1M (first day): Once he finished up his thumbnail sketches he went and grabbed some of the practice…

One of the most important, if not the most important characteristics of a leader is the ability to communicate well. Without this ability even the most brilliant mind cannot be a leader, because they will never be able to inspire their team to work towards a common goal. Transformation leaders have strong commutation skills and are able to positively influence team outcomes (Boies, Fiset & Gill, 2015). In today’s fast pace world leaders have a variety of ways to communicate. A strong leader…

Eye Contact: Men and Women Do men make more or less eye contact then women? For my hypothesis I would say men make less eye contact then women from my observations in past experiences. Women make the most eye contact from also my past experiences. Men tend to drift off more. Women tend to keep steady contact to keep importance of the conversation. Men get distracted easier which makes it harder to focus into the eyes. Women pay close attention because their eyes show more emotion…
