...a learning style, in which information is displayed as words. The V. A. R. K. Style of learning consist of four study strategies for learning (Visual, aural, read – write, kinesthetic) and a combination or multimodal study strategy. The visual style of learning is for people who use their sight to gather information. They manage well in lessons with lots of illustrative and pictorial styles of presentation (i.e. flowcharts, slides, etc.). The aural style of learning is for people who prefer spoken explanations. They manage well in lessons with discussion session, tutorials, (i.e. usage of a tape recording device so an individual can hear the lesson and remember them). The read – write style of learning is for people who get their information through reading and writing. They gain their knowledge from textbooks, organizing thought into words and writing them into notes, usage of dictionaries, and the kinesthetic style of leaning is for people who prefer to learn through activity. They manage well in lessons that utilize the physical (sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing); hands on approach i.e. watch another person demonstrate what they need to do before doing it themselves. Most people possess elements of all four learning styles. This is the multimodal style of learning. The individual may have visual learning style mixed with a kinesthetic learning style. In this case the individual would probably learn by putting a power...

...courses or subjects they are competent at, however will also enlighten them of the greatest active way of learning and reading for the areas of any subject. In 1987, Neil Fleming designed the VARK learning style assessment which is a questionnaire that has questions that which answered by a person will lead to four scores that gives up to five study strategies which are: Visual, Aural, Reading/write, and Kinesthetic (Fleming,2011). The way in which these scores add up informs a person where they fall within the five areas of learning strategies which is crucial to the education of every individual. This paper will elaborate in enormous fragment multimodal as the author took the VARK assessment and realized she is a multimodal learner. It will also compare and contrast preferred learning strategies with the VARK learning strategies and appraises any changes needed to improve study habits. The author use to think that she learn best from reading and writing of every bit of information, but after taking the VARK assessment she realized that she is a multimodal with scores of visual 6 , aural/auditory 4 , reading/write 9 and Kinesthetic 8.This means that the author requires two or more methods of learning to be an effective learner. Context approach learners and the whole sense approach learners are the two types of a multimodal learner. The context approach is used if an individual...

...Outline Introduction According to Keefe (1979), learning styles are cognitive, affective and physiological factors that clearly define how a learner copes in a given environment. In other words, they are composite features that gauge whether a learner perceives, responds and work well in a given learning environment. Learning styles can also be defined as educational conditions that favor learning. Auditory Learning Style Auditory learning style entails using hearing senses to learn. It involves a teacher talking to learners. In other words, the learner requires information to be read aloud. Visual Learning Style This learning style requires a learner to use visuals to learn. These visuals include diagrams, charts, pictures and films. In other words, visual learners make use of their eyes to learn. Tactile/Kinesthetic Kinesthetic learners learn best by touching, feeling and experiencing things and material at hand. Conclusion Learning styles are important in that they allow people to know and gauge forms of mental representations. However, the styles should be perceived as preferences by the learners and not a way of dividing the learners according to their learning capabilities.

...Alfred Alexander Gockel Alfred Alexander Gockel was born in 1952 in Ludinghausen, North-Rine Westphalia, Germany. Fascinated early on by the magic of color on paper, Gockel's talent and enthusiasm lead to the publication of his first artwork when he was eight years old. Educated in the areas of typography and graphic design at Polytechnic in Munster, where he graduated in 1977, Gockel worked in the advertising industry for many years. During this time, he also lectured at his alma mater in his specialized fields. Wishing to devote more time to his artwork, he established the art publishing firm of Avant Art in 1983. From his earliest days on, he was fascinated by the magic of colors on paper. This talent and enthusiasm resulted in the release of this first art work by a German publisher at the age of 8. After he graduated from high school, he commenced his studies at the Polytechnic Academy in Munster in 1973. His main emphasis was typography, graphic design and advertising. He graduated in 1977, and in the following years he was active as a freelance artist, designer and lecturer of typography and graphic design at the Polytechnic Academy in Munster. In 1981 his work of art had developed so strongly, that he had to stop with all additional activities and become a full-time artist. This was the beginning of a long and successful career.

...Running head: ANALYSIS OF VARK LEARNING STRATEGIES Analysis of VARK Learning Strategies “The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities that are used for learning information (Fleming & Mills, 1992)”. Each person learns in a unique yet definable way, and through the utilization of the VARK system, categories have been established to assist in understanding and promoting effective learning by the individual. The VARK system is based on a questionnaire where each person describes their response to a given situation, and the compilation of the answers then allows these results to place the individual within one of the four identified groups, with the addition of a fifth being an all-encompassing “multimodal learning preference (Fleming & Mills, 1992)”. The design of the program assists the learner to not only receive their identified learning style, but allows for the instruction of changes or habits that the individual may find helpful in developing their learning effectiveness. Visual learning includes the use of printed graphs, charts, and visual comparisons by using labels, arrows, and symbols that the individual can associate with items of interest. The visual learner equates symbols and figures, and this allows them to process and retain the information more effectively. This style of learning was identified with the lowest number upon completion of the personal questionnaire. Aural/Auditory learning involves...

...to many far away periods, including the Italian Renaissance, the Early 20th Century and the Indian Civilization. Time travel can be dis-orienting. This is also what it is like to appreciate works of art from different periods. As your tour guide back into time I have prepared this book to prepare you for the tour. The first three chapters of this book, prepares travelers for their journey and will help them remain oriented. The information provided in the first three chapters provide a frame of reference that can reduce the dis-orienting effect of visiting later periods of art history and cultures one may be unfamiliar with. We will ask;" how is the work of art we are observing "attained". Getting a proper orientation of architecture or a visual art is similar to taking a tour of a college campus. When you approach a college campus for the first time there are various buildings on the campus. You will have your first impressions as you approach the campus from a distance and more impressions as you get closer- which changes your perspective. Once one has visited several college campuses one learns how to orient themself. You can quickly find the administration building, library, dorms, etc. To keep one from getting lost in the world of Art developing a frame of reference can reduce culture shock and time disorientation. This book examines three periods and three different types of Art that will serve as a good frame of reference for making sense of our experience. The first initial...

And I think what the artist is trying to signify is self-respect for the dead as they have done different good deeds during their lifetime and as different funerals is being conducted the burst would continue to guide their tomb while they are buried there. Funerary Relief Burst The second work of art is the 4th century plate made during the sasanian period with silver and gilt which was considered one of the most enduring royal images created back then as the design shows the King riding on a horseback hunting select Quarry boar, lion, antelope.

...habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. It is a core concept that individuals differ in how they learn. In the perspective of supporters, teacher should evaluate the student's learning style. Although there is sufficient obvious for differences in individual thinking and ways of processing various types of information, few studies have reliably tested the validity of using learning styles in education. On the opposite side, critics say there is no evidence that identifying an individual student's learning style produces better outcomes. 2.0 VAK Learning Style There are consist of two learning style. There is VAK learning style and Honey and Mumford learning style. VAK is Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. People who with visual learning style favoritism for seen or inspect things. For example: pictures, demonstrations, display, films, diagrams, handouts, and flip chat. Beside this, this person will always use the words like` let’s have a look at that’ ` show me’ or ` let’s have a look at that’. Apart from this, they will read the instructions or watching someone else do it first in order to be the best one when perform a new task.

...Drawing to Painting This paper will discuss artist Raphael and his painting The Alba Madonna and what process the artist used in painting. This paper will show how Raphael used drawing as a method to painting. This paper will also inform the reader of the materials Raphael used in his art work and how the foundations of his paintings come together in final work. In addition to the materials Raphael used this paper will also explain why the artist drew prior to him painting and what the artist wanted to express through his art work. One of the materials Raphael used was metalpoint. Metalpoint was a tool that many artists used in the late-fifteenth century to create drawings. The metalpoint creates a chemical reaction once it is applied to paper this would produce lines (Sayre, 2010). Raphael also used chalk his drawings. Many artists would use chalk in their drawings; the artist sharpen the chalk to a point so it would be used like a pencil. Raphael typically would use oil on wood panels, but he also used oil on a canvas to create paintings. Raphael was on of the first artists to showcase the power of oil when used in paintings. This is because of oil’s texture and its ability to give a high gloss finish. Tempera is another medium that Raphael used in his painting. Tempera is using powdered pigments that are mix with egg yolks and water (The free dictionary, n.d.). Raphael has the ability to perfectly blend colors in his artwork. Raphael learned from Leonardo...

...Christine Ladd-Franklin History and Systems of Psychology Christine Ladd-Franklin Christine Ladd-Franklin would make history with her remarkable achievements in psychology. Christine was a mathematician, logician, and psychology. Christine had many influential people in her life that helped support and encouraged her passion for learning in a culture where women found it hard to enter college. These influences included her father, mother, and aunt as well as academic professors, such as Maria Mitchell, James Sylvester, Charles Peirce, G.E. Muller, and Herman von Helmholtz. This paper will describe Christine Ladd-Franklin’s life, background, theory, and contributions to the field of psychology. Christine, often referred to as Kitty, was born in Windsor Connecticut on December 1, 1847(Vassar Encyclopedia, 2012). Christine was the oldest of three children born to Eliphalet and Augusta Ladd. Augusta died when Christine was12. Before her death, Christine’s mother and her aunt Juliet Niles were very influential in Christine’s life as evidenced in her later work as an advocate for women’s rights. As a child, she attended lectures for women’s rights with her mother. Christine’s early education stared at Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, where she prepared for college just like the male students. She graduated in 1865 and was voted valedictorian of her class. In 1866, Christine pursued her education at Vassar, one of the few new colleges that...
