Learning to Look
Author: Joshua C. Taylor
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022615890X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Sometimes seeing is more difficult for the student of art than believing. Taylor, in a book that has sold more than 300,000 copies since its original publication in 1957, has helped two generations of art students "learn to look." This handy guide to the visual arts is designed to provide a comprehensive view of art, moving from the analytic study of specific works to a consideration of broad principles and technical matters. Forty-four carefully selected illustrations afford an excellent sampling of the wide range of experience awaiting the explorer. The second edition of Learning to Look includes a new chapter on twentieth-century art. Taylor's thoughtful discussion of pure forms and our responses to them gives the reader a few useful starting points for looking at art that does not reproduce nature and for understanding the distance between contemporary figurative art and reality.

Book Description
Learning to See = Seeing to Learn: Vision, Learning & Behavior by Dr. Patrick Quaid et al, will unlock the connection between eyesight, education, and behaviors in children. How can you have 20/20 vision and not see well? Why are some very bright children unable to concentrate while reading and are unable to memorize what they see? This book will be especially interesting for teachers, educators, and parents with children who struggle to learn, are on an IEP, or who have been identified with ADD or ADHD. Learn about visual processing and why some children and adults struggle to see and understand what everyone else does naturally. Discover how challenges with visual processing can be corrected. This book will assist those in special education to add visual processing to the list of indications when assessing students with learning challenges. The important work of those supporting special education in the school system often leads to the development of an IEP for the student. As you will learn in the book, many IEPs may not be necessary if the root problem is one of visual processing. When ADD or ADHD is diagnosed, it often leads to many learning and behavior accommodations in the classroom. Many children then are given medications for ADHD and ADD to assist in behavior management. This diagnosis can change the trajectory of that child's life. This book encourages educators, parents, and physicians to pause before concluding that the student has ADHD or ADD. It may be that they have a visual processing problem. If that is the case, special education accommodations and medications will only mask the root problem. The agitation and difficulties concentrating may be due to their brain not correctly processing the information they see. Even getting glasses that give a child 20/20 vision does not solve the underlying problem. This book will help parents, teachers, and their healthcare professions recognize this common but often missed ingredient to a student's success in education and life. Below are some questions to consider. If this seems to describe your child or student, this book will help. A list of observations when a child has visual issues: -Taking far too long to copy information from the board to a page and vice versa. -Difficulty remembering how to spell and tending to spell the word how it sounds most of the time. -Losing their place often when reading, skipping lines, missing whole words or word endings, (using their finger or a ruler to track often helps them). -Frequent eye rubbing and/or squinting. -Difficulty sustaining attention close-up, particularly when reading. -Substitutions when reading out loud (saying something similar to what is there but not exactly what is on the page, sometimes will interfere with meaning). -General avoidance and dislike of reading overall. -Unable to write on the line and uses different sizes of print, (i.e., inconsistent), when forming letters. -Seeming difficulty to maintain attention overall. -A noticeable difference between their oral and aural skills (i.e., speaking and listening) versus their visual skills (i.e., reading and writing). Dr. Quaid is joined by other experts in the field of optometry and vision. There are chapters by an primary school educator and an elementary school Vice-Principal who share some of the elements of classroom life, IEPs, and special education. You are invited to read this book to learn what 40 percent of our brain is all about - visual processing. It may just change a child's future.

The First 20 Hours
Author: Josh Kaufman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101623047
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

Book Description
Lean production is the gold standard in production systems, but has proven famously difficult to implement in North America. Mass production relies on large inventories, uses "push" processes and struggles with long lead times. Moving towards a system that eliminates muda ("waste") caused by overproduction, while challenging, proves necessary for improved efficiency. Often overlooked, value stream mapping is the essential planning stage for any Lean transformation. In Mike Rother and John Shook's essential guide, you follow the value stream mapping undertaken for Acme Stamping, for its current and future state. Fully illustrated and well-organized, Learning to See is a must-see for the value stream manager.
