The principal teacher training school, established three years after the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, Gazi Education Institute in Ankara was assigned to bring up teachers who were equipped with all necessary skills to exercise their profession in conditions of hardship. The Institute's Arts-Crafts Department developed a curriculum around the concept of "work" with a pedagogical approach that emphasized "learning by doing." Exploring the contributions this comprehensive mastery of knowledge made to future generations, "Idealist School, Productive Studio" focuses between the years 1932 and 1973, marking the period when the Department was opened and until when the Institute’s boarding school was rescinded. Adding a new layer to SALT’s research on the art history of Turkey, the exhibition presents a selection of archive materials and works of art along with oral narratives.

An important concept of mathematics is the ability to interpret the size and volume of something with respect to another. The pre-number concept of big and small was thus introduced through fun-filled activities that encouraged learning by doing in class. Learning through participation is an effective way to make the concept interesting and enjoyable learning without boredom. Preschool children are very observant and this trait can be put to use to introduce new concepts to them. Thus child centric and activity based methodologies are designed to encourage learning in children.
After a child understands about different sizes, he or she is able to understand about other similar concepts like lesser than, greater than, larger than, smaller than, and equal to or the same as. Such stimuli are precursors to developing mathematical, sequential, analytical and logical thinking in children.
My first attempt at making a movie with the E-PL1. Talk about learning by doing.... still, I think it conveys the idea of what it's like down there right now, even though it took me a while to figure out the focusing (keep the shutter half-pressed - duh!).
We visited the area around the multi-function hall or station of Faido, one of two future underground emergency stations. The two main tunnels, 57km each, are nearly completely dug out. At this point in Faido, they are already lined with concrete and are waiting for the electrical work and the final high-speed rails to be laid.
The workers work (can anyone think of a better synonym?) around the clock in three eight-hour shifts. They go on for nine days, then have four days off. There are general holidays in August and over Christmas. Wages are very good, and safety levels are high; nevertheless, there have been seven casualties since work started, all but one due to accidents with the various vehicles: only one was hit by a falling rock, which I found remarkable given that the men are working with up to 2.5km of rock over them.

I wanted to get into some water photos - I know they have been done before, but they look like fun, so I wanted to try them. I learned that 1/3200 isn't fast enough (sun / no flash) to get the drops sharp, so next time I need to do some flash set-up and some fixed location drip set-up rather than dripping by hand. AAAhhh, learning by doing.

This is the same camping trip as the previous photo, but about 35 miles away at a different area in the Cave Hills north of Buffalo, SD.
The thing I remember most from this trip was how my Dad was impressed and complimented me on how I could set up camp and make everything work well. He wanted to take the credit for teaching it to me, and I didn't argue...the fact was that I learned most of it on my own and some of it in the Air Force survival schools I attended, reading the Fox Fire series books, Louis L'Amour western fiction books, and simply just learning by doing it for myself.
But, I was glad that we got to go together and just have fun.
One thing I didn't like about this trip was something I did by instinct to impress my dad and get his approval of me. I killed a chipmunk. We were walking along some cliffs and I heard a rustle in the leaves about 20 feet away and drew my pistol, turned and fired, and blew away the little guy. My dad was very impressed with my split second action and accuracy and, at the time, I was very happy just for having his approval. But, even then, I knew it was a wrong thing to do and felt guilty, just as I do now writing about it.
I don't like that I did that to make myself feel good about myself in my Dad's eyes. I am sorry for it and will never do it again.

I called my friend Yuuichirou on the first day of the year to travel to Schlachstensee, located to the south of Berlin to photograph some "winter landscape scenes". We met last year at the art market near Tiergarten and since then have become friends.
I enjoy meeting photographers and also learning from them. I find sometimes many photographers are tremendous egomaniacs or sometimes loners who find they have a special gift or "artistic vision". Obviously this is not the case with me or Yuuichirou.
My point is like many professions or people in general, they can be difficult and not open to sharing ideas and knowledge. However, I must admit besides practical "Learning by Doing" knowledge obtained for my photography I owe most of my knowledge to other photographers.
Of course, I ask lots of questions and sometimes get good answers.
The photo is formated in 16:9 "HD" size because it is shot during a "mock" interview with Yuuichirou using the Canon Powershot SX1 IS.

Brooklyn looks so mean in this photo but she is actually mid-yawn (and makes me realize how much I need to vacuum my rug). This photo was taken with a flash, and I've decided to incorporate a few shots with my flash each week to improve my lighting skills. I obviously was messing around with curves in Photoshop, too. Learning by doing.

Took a walk with the mission to shoot people. By the lens I mean, of course. :)
I so want to do it, and still am so afraid of doing it for some reason. Guess it's learning by doing.. :)
I do want more faces than backs though...
Today I tried to play a little bit with the lighting of a traffic light. Nothing special but nearly that what I expected…learning by doing ;-)

Excerpt from email conversation with the artist:
I m a little bit shy judging my own work.
My bio, hm, is a short one, I' ve told you.
I have not been enjoying any kinds of artistic education, it is all learning by doing and trial and error. I have had only a few local exhibitions, too. So there is nothing much too say, I fear.
And last but not least (maybe the most important issue and difficult to answer, because for an artist sometimes it is pretty impossible to say smart things about the subtext of his work.
Aggression, maybe it is simple, firstly, as i am German. That speaks for itself.
I am (like every serious German artist of the last decades, conscious or unconscious) a product of aggression, historically.
If the picture fits : we are standing on the shoulders of murderers who where the sons of geniuses and great spirits.
And: the Germans are simply incapable of making a revolution.
Don't let anyone tell you the '89 political change in Eastern Germany was a revolution. It was fake. The freedom they got was the freedom of capitalism, the freedom of being unemployed and poor. A lot of Aggression here is coming of those fatal promises.
Obviously this is to see in a few of my paintings, i don't know. But this could be the context to the exhibition's theme.

Experiments are a great way of learning by doing. The students of Noble High were shown an audio visual to make them understand the cause of volcano eruption. There was a spark in their eyes to learn more and they tried their hands-on the experiment as they prepared a functional volcano model. They were thrilled to prepare it by themselves. They prepared the earth's crust with the help of plaster of paris and observed the lava slowly oozing out of the volcano which excited them that was actually the colorful soda that they used to create the molten lava. Such laboratory experiments promote a student’s ability to collaborate effectively with team members in carrying out complex tasks, to share the work, to contribute and respond to ideas. Their expressions while seeing the completed project, were worth capturing that portrayed the power of small wins.
I met Edith on her 91st birthday, as she sprinted by me at the Zoo. Okay, only one of those statements is partially true.
I was leaving the Zoo when I saw Edith and her niece, Cindy, walking ahead of me.
Edith, on her 91st birthday, had just spent the last two hours walking briskly around the Zoo. She was still energetic and all smiles when we met.
Happy birthday, Edith. And many more...
About 100 Strangers: The One Hundred Strangers project is a learning group for people who want to improve the social and technical skills needed for taking portraits of strangers and telling their stories. The method is learning by doing.
The challenge: Take 100 photographs of at least 100 people you don't know. Approach a person or group of people and ask for permission to both take a photo of them and to post it to this group. Get to know your subjects. Take their pictures. Tell their stories.
