Working in Groups/help each other

Today's class was all about helping each other in finding new ideas for the assigment which was to get 10 quotes or words from a pictures to create a different idea of the image. I did really enjoyed this excecise because makes you think a lot. At the end of the class we talked about the word " Methodology" meaning consistent, method, approach, habit, set, system of procedures. notes: I learn always something new in this class and this is more learning about yourself than just read a book, this class is really constructive to me.

ELizabeth Gilbert/ group work

Today's class we listen to Elizabeth Gilbert ( a famous incredible writer of all time) Love/fascination her quote. Creativity was her topic. Uses self reflection to students and she relates to writers as she talks. Humor was important during her speech. At the end of class we worked in groups again. I felt that it was a really good work out for us because we are able to communicate better and expressed our thoughts.

Answering question 1: well I experienced fear based on my reactions by being too shy at times, not getting involved in class or participate. It's important to do the best and no matter what fear we could have, to always keep trying our best.

question 2: Im successfully overcoming these reactions by just being the best each day. Enjoy and learn from others.  There is always new things to learn each day and to me that is a blessing. I enjoy listening and learning from others ( teachers, writers, successfull people, etc)

Discovering how to work in groups to fix a problem....

Today's class was all about working in groups to solve a task by selecting the best drawings to the worst. We learned that time is vital, meaning that all classmates need to make an effort and think the best solution to solve the problem. We did accomplished the task, but learned that we needed to work together. We were asked in small groups to discuss solutions and better ways to work together.

Visual Intelligence + Application

Today's class was really fun because we discussed the differences between a Game and a Test. Game= fun ,  Test= Stressfull. Most part of the class we visualize pictures (a family at a social convention, a stop sign, President Obama, Earth, sun flower, jack in the box logo, joker, etc) We learned how to describe each picture as what we see not what we think it is........ 

Introducing an apple!

Today's class on 1/12/12 we talked about the syllabus, but also was a unique one for me because we learned how to visualize, feel, touch, sense an green apple. This experience excercised my mind and ways to describe the green apple as (shape,line,color,value,texture,balace, visual movement). Really interesting!
