For this museum project I decided to take a visit to the Perez Art Museum Miami. During my trip to the museum I really connected emotionally with what I viewed, furthermore comprehending my perspectives in comparison to the intent of each art piece.

The painting is titled, "Morthyn Brito III," by the artist is Kehinde Wiley, who was born in the United States of America. Wiley finished and…

Most visually impaired patients voiced their opinion about how hard it was to read signs within the facility or even read the names on their medication bottles. The sad part is that most of these clients are too embarrassed to speak…

discovered that I am a multimodal learner. According to the Oxford Dictionary (2016), multimodal is defined as being “characterized by several different modes of activity or occurrence”. In simpler terms, it means that my learning preferences include visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. For me, I will drift towards different styles of learning depending on what it is that I am learning. When learning subjects such as math and science, I find it is best to write things out.

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, &…

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.
