would assume they would fail. And then there is the healthcare field. This is an area of struggle for the visually impaired because I think that most people don’t take the time to think of the minor or major accommodations needed for people with poor visual acuity. 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…

I attended to an art exhibition on Monday, October 13th, 2014 at The Schumacher Gallery. While visiting the gallery, I came across Alice Schille’s artwork named “The Green Chair”. Alice Schille an impressionist was born in Columbus in 1869. She was considered to be "one of America 's primary women watercolorist". Schille attended to the Columbus Art School (now known as the Columbus College of Art & Design) in 1887. Her work was influenced by progressive art movements. In her paintings she…

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. This way…

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.…

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…

and socially engaged art. Helguera integrates his artistic abilities to the problem of social engaged art. He served as director of adult and academic programs in the department of education at the Museum of Modern art in New York since 2007. His visual art includes social engagement, historical research, pedagogy and language. He is also a author of many books, including Manual of Contemporary Art Style (Jorge Pinto Books, 2007) a humorous and ironic look at the social workings of the…

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…
