This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Experiential. This is from a recent Ikebana Sogetsu class at the Shepard Garden and Art Center in Sacramento. It's a great group of men and women from all different backgrounds who come together once a month to enjoy being artistic and creative with flowers. Lots of fun! HMMM!
Experiential learning is most commonly known as 'learning by doing'. Real context and authentic purpose resonate emotionally and intellectually with children
This was part of the drawing machine, pair work and we focused on circular movements and using less ink. It suggests to me a person reaching beyond the boundaries of society where they have the freedom to explore.
Constructivism is a theory of knowledge (epistemology) that argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas. During infancy, it was an interaction between human experiences and their reflexes or behavior-patterns. Piaget called these systems of knowledge schemata. Constructivism is not a specific pedagogy, although it is often confused with constructionism, an educational theory developed by Seymour Papert, inspired by constructivist and experiential learning ideas of Jean Piaget. Piaget's theory of constructivist learning has had wide ranging impact on learning theories and teaching methods in education and is an underlying theme of many education reform movements. Research support for constructivist teaching techniques has been mixed, with some research supporting these techniques and other research contradicting those results.
Constructivist theory[edit]
Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. He suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences. When individuals assimilate, they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework. This may occur when individuals' experiences are aligned with their internal representations of the world, but may also occur as a failure to change a faulty understanding; for example, they may not notice events, may misunderstand input from others, or may decide that an event is a fluke and is therefore unimportant as information about the world. In contrast, when individuals' experiences contradict their internal representations, they may change their perceptions of the experiences to fit their internal representations. According to the theory, accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences. Accommodation can be understood as the mechanism by which failure leads to learning: when we act on the expectation that the world operates in one way and it violates our expectations, we often fail, but by accommodating this new experience and reframing our model of the way the world works, we learn from the experience of failure, or others' failure.
It is important to note that constructivism is not a particular pedagogy. In fact, constructivism is a theory describing how learning happens, regardless of whether learners are using their experiences to understand a lecture or following the instructions for building a model airplane. In both cases, the theory of constructivism suggests that learners construct knowledge out of their experiences.
However, constructivism is often associated with pedagogic approaches that promote active learning, or learning by doing. There are many critics of "learning by doing" (a.k.a "discovery learning") as an instructional strategy (e.g. see the criticisms below). While there is much enthusiasm for Constructivism as a design strategy, according to Tobias and Duffy "... to us it would appear that constructivism remains more of a philosophical framework than a theory that either allows us to precisely describe instruction or prescribe design strategies. This is unfortunate because there is quite a bit of promise to the educational philosophy behind constructivism, but constructivists seem to be having difficulties defining testable learning theories.[citation needed]
The construction of knowledge is a dynamic, active process in which learners constantly strive to make sense of new information.
Over time, this sense-making activity is made up of conscious attention, organising and reorganising ideas, assimilating or accommodating to new ideas, and constant reshuffling and reorganising in efforts to connect ideas into coherent patterns.
nope. not student work. mine.
so i'm sure everyone's shocked that i uploaded a picture that's actually a photo and not kid art. and since i'm MIA lately, i thought i'd share some facts. boring? yes. but that's life.
-i do have a camera that i shoot. sometimes. in fact, i have 2. and i may love the lil one more.
-my lil trusty point and shoot is probably on it's last leg, and that scares me.
-it takes some fierce macros.
-i'm 50% done w/ my grad class this semester.
-i made this piece of art in class last night.
-it's cardboard, watercolor, oil pastel and marker. and all "deep" w/ meaning.
-my master's degree will be in art therapy.
-i have to write a giant program evaluation/master's thesis between now and mid-december. yikes.
-this year, my "work" (teaching) is more difficult than it's ever been. i am going crazy. the schedule is killing me.
-exposure detroit is outta control good. so many good things on the near horizon. and it's cool to be a part of that.
-my friends are pretty much awesome and i love them all.
-it's so good not to have to race home from one job and race to the other. but i'm not quite sure where the extra time is going either. seems like i'm still crazy busy.
-this weekend may or may not consist of: a funeral, leaf raking, a re-done lease on my house agreement, homework, art work, a print swap, general cleaning, an airplane ride, a girls' brunch, a meeting w/ another venue for shows. i think that's it....? did i miss anything? please tell me if you know i forgot something cuz i'm about to lose my mind. gahhhh!!

Promoting the brand's new TwinWash machine, which can wash delicates and regulars at the same time, two sets of oversized clothes battle in a choreographed street fight under the bright lights of New York City.
With a troupe of dancers and 16-foot-tall 'clothes' puppets, the immersive experience recreates the 3D animated TV ad shown during the Golden Globes.
The original ad took over four months to complete, as it included 3D scanning of NYC locations, as well as motion capture of dancers and martial artists.

life is a funny thing my friends,,, or, if not life,
the way we move inside it.
we run so hard, chasing whatever it is our brains have convinced us is the new necessity - looking for the next fix,,, for a brief moment of respite from epic pressures that seem so real to us.
and if we get what we want,,, if it makes us forget our pains for a few moments,,, lost in a kind of self-gratifying distraction,,, then we write off the days, years or people we spent getting there as worth the sacrifice,,,
the problem is, it doesn't last long, does it? a few moments,,, and the sweetness turns sour as we realize it wasn't quite what we thought it was. so we rush off towards the next all important destination, somehow convincing ourselves that this time we'll arrive to find the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
why do we obsessively follow a pattern that has proven itself wrong so many millions of times over?
i received a poignant letter today from a friend who has spent the last few days dealing with the death of a family member. fresh from the hard but powerful lessons of loss he says:
"...we will find strength. we will not always know how, or why it comes, but it will come. if we remain open to learning whatever lessons there are for us to learn, and do not cloud our minds with things that make no difference--anger, hate, blame--we will find great clarity, great strength, and even great joy in times that seem to have none."
and here, he uncovers a great truth,,,
we look for joy, peace and strength in things, we look for joy in times, in circumstances and in achievements,,, but they don't exist there. they exist only within ourselves.
wealth is knowing what you have,,,
we are our own richness.
i spend a few minutes playing in the living room with my family, taking a few pictures of my wife and and two sons' precious faces and interactions,,,
as i head toward the office, back to work, my beautiful 3 year old son Prevail runs to me and says, 'daddy, daddy,,, remember to take a picture of her ponytail,,,'
ah, how i revel in the brilliance that springs from a mind in flight! i pick him up, twirling him around like the unchained bird he is,,, watching the light shining from his smiling eyes.
i think,,, what if the way to joy is found not through forgetting, but by remembering?
i will not forget, my beautiful Prevail, i promise you.
i promise myself,,,
i want to be a part of a world that knows exactly how rich she is,,, will you help me remind her?

1 Physical Experiential - The entry point. We are stimulated by an altered 'real' environment around us (think: surround 3D or 4D cinema) or our bodies are impacted by external forces (think: 5G theme park rides) or we find something very pleasurable (think: warm drink in a nice cafe or insert your own!). Short bursts of activity over minutes
2 Mental Experiential - Our brains become inter-active in the 'surround' experience. We have problems to solve that requires us to make decisions, we have to assess characters who may be trying to deceive, complex puzzles abound, historical and forensic examination, moving around & touching the environment around us and so on. May engage for hours.
3 Social Experiential - Where experiences start to include your personal tribes, family, friends and you are engaged in competition, team or peer activities. From the early days of group treasure hunts through to present day Augmented Reality team scavenger hunts you are much more driven in your personal involvement than if it was just for you and is a much more profound immersion than any individual pursuit. The shared physical, mental and now, social experience becomes something much more powerful and may last days at a time.
4 Emotional Experiential - Where we personally connect at a much deeper level either through bespoke elements or story. Well written stories and characters draw us in further, we empathise or even take parts ourselves in a dramatic narrative. We are also given true agency at this level and our personality and creativity is reflected. The experience is extended further to potentially months if the story 'experience' world is well constructed.
5 Spiritual Experiential - A sublime and transcendental final level. This is where the experience becomes almost religious in nature and the users start to change their own belief systems. They start to believe in the artificially created world around them and evolve - change their lives & values. From a pure experiential perspective, short term examples of this include deeply involved as a fan at a large sporting arena or physically at a breathtaking global music event. There are not many 'created' experiential media events that have 'altered' lives, yet, but there will be soon. This element can last years if the experience is sustained by the users own belief system.
