Recommended: What is the importance of visuals in teaching

“Students must learn to process both words and pictures” (Tompkins, 153). I agree with this statement, however, I don’t have a lot of experience with it in the classroom. I taught my own children how to think critically to images whether they were on TV or in print while I home schooled. I am sad that many students go to school and their parents have not taught them how to think or appreciate visual language arts. It seems this is a responsibility that teachers should take seriously. I don’t teach language arts, but I do teach Bible to my homeroom class. One student just came to America this summer. While studying God’s template for the wilderness temple and what each element was to represent, I put up a visual of the temple as it might

    Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other

  • The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Voices in the Park

    It is very easy to agree with Moebius statement that ‘good’ picture books contain some form of invisible and intangible concepts that keeps the reader returning. In Voices in the Park it is very easy to see Moebius idea due to the ability of technology to create detailed and complex books. In contrast, Potter has produced a book that more subtle in showing this relying not on technology like Voices in the Park but working within severe limitations. Blending page turns, text, colour to create understandable concepts. Goodman comments that some would argue that these elements in pictures interfere with and detract from the text, and thus undermine the confidence of the reader. An extrapolation of this idea is that preconceived ideas and pictures of another spoil the reader’s entrance to literacy.

    I rushed to my dresser, pulled out the pack, and read through the instructions. In an hour I was working on my first verse. That verse took me a week of determined repetition before it was firmly stitched into my mind. But I was on my way. That pack and, later, other tools were to become a focal point of my spiritual life.

    From many of Dorothy Allison’s writings “This Is Our Word” made me understand what the true meaning of art really is. Allison uses great strategies in her writing like the usage of her tone, and also the descriptive language she uses to describe art and create imagery. Many people like me can look at a picture and stare at it for a long time and still wouldn’t be able to see what it means or what it’s trying to say. Allison made me understand that art isn’t just a picture with bright colors; she made me realize that everything tends to have a story behind it.

  • Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament by Dr. Christopher J. H. Wright

    1759 Words  | 4 Pages

    Christopher J. H. Wright is an Anglican clergyman and an Old Testament scholar. He is the International Ministries Director of Langham Partnership International. He was the principal of All Nations College. He is the honorary member of the All Saints Church of Langham Place in London, England. In his book, Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament, Dr. Wright looks to bring about the unity between the Hebrew Scriptures and the understanding of Jesus pertaining to the Word of God. Dr. Wright points out that the knowledge of Christ Jesus originated in the history of salvation that was planned and worked by the Lord for the people of Israel. This book is one of the most essential sources to understand the relation between Jesus and the Old Testament. In fact, “Christian talk of the relation between Jesus Christ and the OT has been prone in the tradition to several forms of error.” As we will see, the author illustrates the complex method in which the character, doctrine, and mission are mingled and can be found within the Hebrew Bible. Dr. Wright illustrates upon the passage of Matthew 1 – 4 indicating how the Old Testament covenants and promises brought about the knowledge of Jesus and interestingly enough discover their completion in Him. There is a whole lot of truth to be gathered by the book by Dr. Wright. A closer discovery of the hidden topics will bring about some foundational theological issues for that need to be presented.

  • Design and the Church

    783 Words  | 2 Pages

    We do tend to expect certain things when we enter a place of worship, or peruse an active ministry, and truthfully, when taking in Christian oriented art. There are a couple reoccurring emblems, symbols, well-worn themes, and subjects which have been deemed safe, coming under overuse, carrying the weight of a saltine in the impact it makes on people, including us. While intentions are almost always well meaning, these conventions appear to the secular as a genre of its own in culture and art, quite often ringing with an unsavory note of incompetence. That’s already an unpleasant attribution to a faith that has changed the world, having built the infrastructure of empathy that has survived ages and permeates the social development of our western culture. It speaks to a deeper issue within the Church itself, which is a woeful lack of inspiration.

  • Picture books making a difference by Hannah Darnell

    823 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pictures are worth a thousand words. This is a phrase that almost everyone has heard and uses when looking at breathtaking images. When I was younger I took this to heart. I would almost never pick up a book if it didn’t have pictures inside. I loved to look at the vivid colors and imagine not only what I was thinking but what the person that was writing the book was thinking. My teachers used to tell me that I didn’t like books without pictures because of my lack of imagination. I disagree, I believe that most children look at pictures differently than not only adults but other children. In this class I got to read several picture books which just reinforced my belief of how important picture books are when children are developing their cognitive skills.

    Many child development studies indicate that children think in concrete, rather than abstract, terms until the age of ten or twelve. Therefore, the words used in their education can stay with them for the rest of their lives. Adult perceptions are formed by language as well. The way we pray really does shape the way we think. What we sing, pray, hear, and see in song, stories and sermons shapes and defines what we believe about God and God’s people. In addition, language is an important consideration in mission. Since God loves all people, our explanation of the wisdom of scripture should reflect an inclusive understanding of

  • Art Is Important To Religion

    611 Words  | 2 Pages

    Art through the ages has been a powerful voice for both secular and religious ideas, and the treasury of Christian art should not be relegated to museum viewing. The art should be displayed in the church were it is meant to be. Its richness can be brought to people in schools and adult study groups. This, in turn, can help to bring art up to the level, that the faith deserves. Churches should fill the walls with art to show what happened throughout the bible. Art creates connections and associations between what we see and what we sense happened. Both ritual and art challenge us to take us beyond the immediate, if they are to bring about true insight and transformation in our lives.
