Shaping the Future: The Way We See Art<\/p>\n
From this lecture, Bell was way ahead of his time in the way he thought and how he put this thought to action. We can understand just how modern his process was by looking at how we learn today. The same practices that we use in classrooms or in general to be understand are similar to the classroom practices of Bell. It\u2019s important to for us to see just how Bell and his classroom practices help to create the implications of a world after Bell.<\/p>\n
Bell was very concise in how he devised his classroom practices. One of his main ideologies was showing an important part of learning. It all goes back to the way we learn. Some people are hands on while others are visual learnings. Bell classroom methods encouraged people to incorporate both ends of a spectrum. You can be taught by a model and in return, to show that you have learned, you are expected to draw what you know. When you draw or create a physical model, your brain starts to turn gears because you begin to envision this thing in your head and you try to replicate it. Therefore, visual arts is a learning process for both sides. Hence, this saturated learning process has a lot of influence on modern classrooms and has even taken a hold in the classrooms of Harvard University.<\/p>\n
Harvard is world renowned for its highly competitive programs and classes, hence, it is a great achievement and accomplishment to have Harvard following the ideologies of Bell. In Harvard classrooms today, specifically in its medical program, they are initiating Bell\u2019s ways of learning. Harvard encourages training in visual arts among their future doctors. That might translate to those scholars who are on a completely different track than the arts to take a class or two of studio art or something related to that manner. This is because visual learning has been found to build visual literacy. When you are remembering something in your brain in order to translate it into a drawing on paper you begin to differentiate between what\u2019s important and what\u2019s not important and you depict what is important in your drawing.<\/p>\n
Bell was a genius who was way ahead of his time in terms of his work and ideologies. His work has help touch our modern world and has made us see the world differently. We need to be able to touch and draw and just visually interpret things. I believe that when we try to visually learn a concept we light up are brain a lot more than with other ways of learning. This is why Bell tactics has withstand time and are being used in highly collegiate settings such as Harvard University. Bell has truly shaped the way we learn and how we see learning and his concepts will continue to grow and thrive throughout many more years to come because it produces such a solid understanding across universal realms of study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
