An Investigation of Children's Abilities to Form and Generalize Visual Concepts from Visually Complex Art Reproductions
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 061 228 TE 499 769 AUTHOR Clark, Gilbert A. TITLE An Investigation of Children's Abilities to Form and Generalize Visual Concepts from Visually Complex Art Reproductions. Final Report. INsTITUTION Ohio state Univ., Columbus. SPONS AGENCY Office of Education (DHEw), Washington, D.C. Bureau of Research. BUREAU NO BR-0-I-060 PUB DATE Jan 72 GRANT OEG-9-70-0031(057) NOTE 85p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Ability Identification; *Art; *children; Classification; *Concept Formation; Correlation; Data Analysis; Data Collection; Discrimination Learning; Individual Differences; Interaction; Rating Scales; Research; Standards; Stimuli; Student Evaluation; Tape Recordings; Task Performance: Test Results; Verbal Ability; *Visual Perception ABSTRACT The re earch reported here was designed to measure the abilities of school-age children to form and generalize "visual concepts" on the basis of their observation of prepared sets of art reproductions. The art reproduction sets displayed similarities based upon various visual attributes. Discrimination of theattributes common to any given set was taken as evidence of concept formation. Selection of similar reproductions in additional displays was taken as evidence of concept generalization. Additionally,tape-recorded discussions of the test administrations were analyzed. These discussions yielded additional evidence of successful test performance (on a verbal dimension) and were useful in describing the character of children's abilities to discuss the visual attributes of art reproductions. Evidence gathered indicates that students at all grades (except, possibly, kindergarten) are able to form visual concepts from their observation of selected sets of art reproductions. Subjects also successfully described their classification of observed visual similarities when discussing the items. -
The Abbhs Newsletter Alabama Bench and Ba R Historical Society
May—June 2021 THE ABBHS NEWSLETTER ALABAMA BENCH AND BA R HISTORICAL SOCIETY From The President When, in 1993, my staff and I were called upon to prepare a plan for a judicial history program for the new Judicial Building, a whole new world was opened to me. A world that I previously did not know existed. In that world, Alabama was first, not last: in that world, Alabama's first constitution was a model for the Nation; in that world, Alabama adopted the first code of ethics for lawyers in the United States which, like the 1819 Constitution, became a model for the Nation; in that world, Alabama's Supreme Court was considered "long the ranking Supreme Court in the South”; and, in that world, Alabama's court system, under the leadership of Chief Justice Howell Heflin, became the most modern in America. These facts are seldom remembered in Alabama history textbooks, yet their impact on Alabama were tremen- dous. Twenty-eight years later, we are still exploring and discovering our legal history and trying to understand where we came from, how we got there, and where we are going next. As Robert Penn Warren said, "History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future." So, as a step toward this self- understanding, I invite you to join the Alabama Bench and Bar Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history of Inside This Issue: the state's judicial and legal system and to making the citizens of the state more knowledgeable about the state's courts and their place in Alabama and United States history. -

INTRODUCTION ALABAMA’S MIRROR: THE PEOPLE’S CRUSADE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS Steven H. Hobbs1 I plucked my soul out of its secret place, And held it to the mirror of my eye To see it like a star against the sky, A twitching body quivering in space, A spark of passion shining on my face. from I Know by Soul, by Claude McKay2 On April 4, 2014, The University of Alabama School of Law hosted a symposium on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The papers presented at that symposium are included in this issue of the Alabama Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Law Review. The symposium was an opportunity to reflect on the reasons and history behind the Act, its implementation to make real the promises of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and the continuing urgency to make the principles of the Act a reality. We, in essence, plucked out the soul of our constitutional democracy’s guarantee of equality under the law and held it up for self-reflection. In introducing the symposium, I note the description that appeared in the program stating the hope for the event: This symposium is a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The passage of the Act marked the beginning of a new era of American public life. At the time it was enacted, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was perceived by many to be the codified culmination of decades of 1 Tom Bevill Chairholder of Law, University of Alabama School of Law. -

In chapters one and two, I look in detail at Calvin's own writings. I begin by examining exactly what type of visual art he rejected and what type he affirmed. I then look at how his eschatology and epistemology, particularly his use of the metaphor of mirror, allow us to argue for the placing of certain types of art within Reformed churches, notably history and landscape paintings. -

Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions. -

To Theo Van Gogh. Arles, on Or About Friday, 16 March 1888
To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. on or about Friday, 16 March 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b509 V/1962 Date: The letter was written after 11 March, the date two Zouaves were murdered in Arles (see n. 8). As Van Gogh writes (ll. 91-95), many Italians were hounded out of town over the next few days because of this. The letter must therefore date from a few days after the crime. Van Gogh also refers to the fact that Koning has moved in with Theo (ll. 37-40). This must have been shortly after 14 March (FR b915). Since Van Gogh says he will write to Bernard and Toulouse-Lautrec on Sunday, the letter must moreover have been written before Sunday, 18 March. For these reasons we have dated the letter on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. Additional: Original [1r:1] Mon cher Tho, je te remercie beaucoup de ta lettre sur laquelle je navais mme pas os compter si vite pour ce qui est du billet de 50 fr. que tu y as ajout.
