Your Mind Is My Experience
Author: Nwokorie Matthew
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1625169825
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Your body is not your limitation as is generally believed by many. Limitations in life are all a product of the mind. Where you are today and where you will be tomorrow are a result of the functioning of your mind. Many have been trained or indoctrinated to believe that they are limited in life because of their physical condition. The truth is they are limited by their poor vision. Their vision of the things they can accomplish can be so limited that they see goals as impossible. Because they see things in these terms, it makes them draw inspiration from only those things, thereby limiting their physical aspect of life. The human mind was created not to function with any form of limitation, but because of religious, traditional, and societal beliefs not based on fact, men and women are held back from making the most of their lives. Do you want to live an unlimited life? If so, you need to have a vision that comes from God and not from men. The author was motivated to write this book because so many are being limited in their life endeavors, while only a very few are in control of the wealth of this world. He states, My dream is to reveal the truth to the world about the ability of what a mind can do.

Marvelous Images
Author: Kendall L. Walton
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195177940
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The twelve essays by Kendall Walton in this volume address a broad range of theoretical issues concerning the arts. Many of them apply to the arts generally-to literature, theater, film, music, and the visual arts-but several focus primarily on pictorial representation or photography. In "'How Marvelous!': Toward a Theory of Aesthetic Value" Walton introduces an innovative account of aesthetic value, and in this and other essays he explores relations between aesthetic value and values of other kinds, especially moral values. Two of the essays take on what has come to be called imaginative resistance-a cluster of puzzles that arise when works of fiction ask us to imagine or to accept as true in a fiction moral propositions that we find reprehensible in real life. "Transparent Pictures", Walton's classic and controversial account of what is special about photographic pictures, is included, along with a new essay on a curious but rarely noticed feature of photographs and other still pictures-the fact that a depiction of a momentary state of an object in motion allows viewers to observe that state, in imagination, for an extended period of time. Two older essays round out the collection-another classic, "Categories of Art", and a less well known essay, "Style and the Products and Processes of Art", which examines the role of appreciators' impressions of how a work of art came about, in understanding and appreciation. None of the reprinted essays is abridged, and new postscripts have been added to several of them.

WORKING WITH IMAGES: THE ART OF ART THERAPISTS
Author: Bruce L. Moon
Publisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher
ISBN: 0398083800
Category : Art therapists
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Working With Images: The Art of Art Therapists is an effort to give voice to the artist aspect of our identity as art therapists. This book is about how the artists work, how they learned to do it, why they do it. This book will give you glimpses of the memories, and perhaps the scars, of the artists. Be honored. The artists in this book know that it is good to make art and they make good art. Through their work they demonstrate their faith in the product and the process. For some of them, art making is their anchor, in the turbulent world of helping professions. For some, images come in response to their clients. For all of them, making art deepens and enriches their lives. Working With Images: The Art of Art Therapists is a presentation of artworks and contextual essays by professional art therapists. This book is foreworded by Don Siedien and includes an introduction that addresses the structure, rationale and intent of this book. The introduction is followed by the artist-therapists' contributions. Each art therapist's selected artworks are presented on one full page in the text. Immediately following the art piece(s) is a brief biographical sketch, a photo of the art therapist and his or her artist’s statement. From the very beginning of the art therapist profession in the United States there has been steady discussion of the relative importance of the 'artist' aspect of art therapies' professional identity. In the thirty years that the American Art Therapy Association has been in existence there have been few other topics that have generated as much interest and debate at the annual national conference. Over the past several years there has been growing interest in re-igniting our artistic passions and welcoming them back into our professional identity. This movement has been evidenced by a number of conference papers and workshops and professional journal articles focused on examining the integration of the artist and the therapist aspects of our work. Working With Images: The Art of Art Therapists presents art therapists as committed and serious, fine artists. This book will be a significant contribution to the literature, and identity, of the art therapy profession.

Everyday Thinking
Author: Stanley Woll
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135693781
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 729
Book Description
Appropriate as a textbook for courses in cognitive psychology or social cognition, Everyday Thinking reviews the rapidly growing literature on cognition in naturalistic settings. It differs from other textbooks in that, where possible, it focuses on thinking in real-world settings rather than in controlled laboratory settings and provides detailed treatments of each of the following topics: * how we form impressions of and represent persons in memory; * how we recognize and represent faces; * how we reason in our day-to-day lives and go about solving everyday problems; * how we make judgments and decisions; * how we encode memories of events--both for future action and for our own life histories; and * what are some of the implications of everyday knowledge and cognition for education and instruction. This book presents the theoretical positions and research evidence on each of these topics and examines the generally unexplored connections among them. As a result, this book presents the study of cognition in a more relevant form and in a context that readers can more readily apply to their own lives.
