Ideal Illustrator:
I'm sorry for my poor drawings.
The only path to expertise... is practice. (pg 137)
"Compared to novices, experts are better able to single out important details, produce sensible solutions, and transfer their knowledge to similar domains (pg. 132).
The debatable Gardner's Multiple Intelligence.
Creative Connector:
"...novice teachers often fail to notice misbehavior's where as experts rarely miss them (pg. 132)."
I found this sentence very amusing because I have witnessed multiple times where "expert" teachers have seen students misbehaving but pretend that they do not, so they don't have to deal with it. Where as I the "novice" teacher would notice the misbehaving student and say something.
"...expert teachers can access information rapidly. Compared to the novice, they can think of more ways to explain a concept, and the can think of these alternatives more quickly (pg. 132)" & "...just think of your reaction when you use Google and get five million results (pg. 132)."
"Beginning students do not yet have the cognitive equipment in place to compose, but that doesn't mean they won't have a great time doing so... (pg. 142)."
In this context Willingham is talking about music, but I was thinking in the mindset of art. In an elementary classroom, the students are not experts. However, they may enjoy exploring experts work and creating work just like it. In the end, they are working towards grabbing the same concept that the artist has achieved.
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteFirst off your drawings arn't bad I coun't do half as well. Second I really liked the video clip. Although I really don't have quite that kind of information. I definitly hear things and will just start singing a song because a lyric is the same so it really does happen just not as extreme as the clip.

I agree with Natalie...you drawing are fine! Ok, also with the commercial, I like how you added that this week. I don't have that kind of background knowledge but like Natalie if I hear a song I can sing some of the lyrics. This interesting thing about that is that I learn the lyrics to songs that I don't like before songs that I do.
