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...

Digital Imagery - Color and Form (Using Photoshop Suit)

Digital Imagery With the help of Digital Cameras  and Photoshop Suit,  my students create great art pieces, demonstrating excellent use  of the program and using to the max the photos  taken with a very regular camera.  We are looking at:   Direccion   Depth   Repetition   Contrast   Form   Color   Use of the Space Students are to be aware and understand:   Pixels (pictures elements)   Color Gradation   RGB   Dimensions (expressed by pixels)   Resolution (PPI - Printing good) Students study and applied depth - perceiving these depths through shapes in order to keep viewers vision active. Seeing means grasping some outstanding features of objects, like; the color of the sky, the curve of the long tree, the rectangularity of the object to the right, and so on.  Depth comes from the correct use of the Principals of Art and Design.
