A Look at My Students Notes

A Look at my student's Notes

This is a place where students pause,

to attend, to perceive, and to explore.

I used to grade with great care

my student's notes.

They let me see their presence,

they showed they had discovered

a new world a new way.

Students already following a dream.

They were not passive learners anymore,

they open to the world

thousand of possibilities

were given consideration and more.

A behavioral neuroscience study conducted by researchers at the University of California and Princeton University published in 2014 showed that students who take notes write thoughts, and sketch ideas by hand perform better with conceptual questions, and increased problem-solving, than other people who don’t record notes or sketch ideas.
According to the study, one explanation for this exciting discovery is that writing, drawing, doodle with pencil and paper allows people to summarize and organize information in their own words and ensures more profound and natural coding and understanding of their surroundings. In contrast, the no use of a pen or the use of electronic devices inclines them to think passively.

Learning Color with The Masters - The Opposite or Complementary Colors

Applying one Layer at a time Color by color and layer by layer, students craft their work. My student chooses a work from the Masters of Impressionism, and it will go this way: 1. The student prepares the canvas using Gesso to seal and prime the canvas before the oil is applied. The gesso should be toned down; this way, the canvas doesn't lose its texture, and the oil will run smoothly. Also will protect the canvas from deterioration; the oil will ruin the canvas quite fast if it has not been primed. 2. The student draws the artwork carefully, soft lines divide each color and each object. Students are not allowed to use a grid; they only find the middle point by drawing an "X" across the canvas, then drawing. It is very important to learn to look closer, to see the distance and locations correctly, to conquer and own the space and what lives in it. 3. Look closer to the color wheel. Students look at the colors with caution, making note of h...

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte y el Diseño - Parte 2nd

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte El hacer, poner, cambiar, modificar, distribuir, crear o edificar en o sobre cualquier espacio. Parte 2 Fuerzas Psicológicas - El Orden Entre tu espacio y los elementos artísticos que se disparan de tu mente ¿Qué controlas y no controlas? La Influencia del pasado, el azar y lo creado Conectamos cualquier forma o figura con memorias visuales que, repetidas durante nuestras vidas, se acumulan en una memoria implícita, más exactamente en los ganglios basales y el cerebelo. Elaboramos nuestro trabajo creativo de la misma manera, conectando esas formas, figuras, colores y más, a esas memorias implícitas que mantenemos en nuestro cerebro; algunas veces con conciencia y otras ocurren sin darnos cuenta. Préstamos imágenes de todas partes y repetimos constantemente las historias y anécdotas de nuestra inmediata circunferencia. Aunque existen muchísimos más elementos en el vasto campo de la visión que esos que mantenemos e...

A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

A Preface to a Creative Line A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm-up activity that will be suitable for every grade and every student Students on many occasions, when newly arrived at my Art classes, show negative feelings and little or not interest towards any manuality or freehand visual experience. Demonstrating cold, sometimes sinic expressions and unoleassent beahavior. Except for those students who already have a heart for the arts. Surprisingly, the art class can move slowly and may be difficult. However, all those feelings are just based on unawareness, fear of ownself capacities and potential, previous poor teaching, and very little or no exposure to the world of creativity and visual expression, the plastic (moldable) arts. It doesn’t matter if students arrive quiet, loud, timid, short or tall, fast thinkers or lacking self-confidence, they must be all welcome to experience the magic of the free line and colors, the amazing feeling of making visual displays ca...
