Using Eye Tracking to Identify Instructive Features of Diagrams

*Raymond Zich, Rebecca Rosenblatt, Amber Sammons

Illinois State University

 

Visual representations play an essential role in the learning of physics. Grounded cognition theory suggests that visual perception activates perceptual symbols that lead to construction of knowledge by the brain. Under this theory effective diagrams activate perceptual symbols that facilitate the construction of the correct physics concepts. Eye tracking was used to investigate student gaze patterns in a number of standard physics diagrams and compare them to modified diagrams that were perceptually enhanced with variations in color and size. Students viewed diagrams representing fluid flow in pipes, motion maps, and equipotential lines, and they answered questions about displayed variables. Eye tracking data indicated that students focused more on pressure gauges and fluid speed indicators with multiple arrows than on single arrow speed indicators or pipe size. In determining electrical potential differences, students primarily concentrated on the area between the two points of interest and not on the charges.

I will confess to being initially less than inspired by today's @dailyshoot repeat-incarnation "horizon" prompt, and so I again jumped at the chance to get creative with that oh-so-horizontal straight line. I like this resulting image, shot through an individual glass brick, one of a whole wall of glass bricks that look out from the elevators over the roof-top parking lot at the Cataraqui Mall in Kingston.

 

Of course, if "horizon" hadn't been the prompt today, it would have been far less likely that I would have looked out at the thing through the bricks. Now, when I see these bricks in the future, I'll be sure to take a look through them with my camera, and see how different the other side looks with this added lens in play. The challenge of a re-served @dailyshoot topic was again instructive! Hooray!

The Golden Valley.

Alfred East (1844-1913).

Oil on canvas, c1893.

 

In this idyllic depiction of an idealised landscape, Alfred East ignores any signs of the modernisation that had been changing the face of rural life throughout the 19th century.

 

Alfred East was an English painter and etcher, born in Kettering on 15 December 1844.

 

One of the most prominent among modern English landscape painters, he received his art education first at the Glasgow School of Art and then in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and under Robert-Fleury and Bouguereau.

 

His landscapes are remarkable for the lyrical use of colour and for the pleasing rhythm of line which is the result of careful selection and building up of the elements that constitute the scene. Based on keen observation of the colour of nature and on careful studies of the details, they are arranged with a rare and by no means obvious sense of balance and compositional beauty which summarily discards all disturbing accidents of nature.

 

He also achieved distinction as an etcher, and published an instructive and useful volume on landscape painting (London, 1906). He began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1883, and was elected an associate. In 1906 he became president of the Royal Society of British Artists.

Author: Davorin Kuljasevic

A Temple and Pagoda incorporating Confucion and Buddhist symbolism. I will post an instructive link on my Fb page BEN TOURISM

The Fisher Boy - 1908

 

Charles Webster Hawthorne (American, 1872 - 1930)

 

Hawthorne's favorite and most characteristic subject was the hardworking fisherfolk of Cape Cod, whom he began painting about 1899. His works are monumental images of human toil and of man's struggle against nature, yet they are also portraits of individuals surrounded by the tools of their trade. Encased in Hawthorne's thick glazes and dark, Old Master tonalities, these humble fishermen possess poise and dignity.

 

Provincetown cod fishermen typically spent the summer months off Newfoundland's Grand Banks, storing the daily catch in salt and returning home in September when the salt ran out. (1) “Fisher Boy” is one of a number of single-figure portraits of these local fishermen, many of which capture events or introspective moments surrounding the fall return of the fishing boats. Against a foggy background, through which the sails and masts of a fishing vessel are visible, a teenage boy surveys his home after months at sea. Slung over his left shoulder is a bag; under his right arm is a beautiful blue-glass jug, which may have held water-—or wine--during the journey. (2)

 

Hardworking immigrants were a favorite subject of a number of realists painters, such as Robert Henri, Jerome Myers, Hawthorne, and others, who disdained the upper-class genteel subject matter preferred by the conservative art world. Contemporary critic Charles H. Caffin appreciated such pictures as a "natural and wholesome reaction from the vogue of frippery, tameness, and sentimentality" that characterized many of the visual images of the era, which kept art far removed from actual experience. (3) For other reviewers, Arthur Hoeber among them, Hawthorne's images conveyed the immigrant’s attempt to build a new life in a new country through back-breaking work. More than simply picturesque characters, Hawthorne’s Portuguese fisherfolk were depicted as "real, tangible human beings, full of hope, ambition and the struggle for existence."

 

Charles Webster Hawthorne grew up in the fishing village of Richmond, Maine, where his father was a sea captain. About 1890 he went to New York, where he attended night classes at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Students League, studying with conservative academic painters Frank Vincent DuMond, George de Forest Brush, and Harry Siddons Mowbray; during the day he worked at a stained-glass factory. Hawthorne began attending summer classes at William Merritt Chase's Shinnecock, Long Island, art school in 1896, and the next year became Chase's assistant. In 1898 he traveled with the class to Holland, where he was exposed to Frans Hals's brushwork and picturesque scenes of fisherfolk. In 1899, after Chase's school closed, Hawthorne moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, and opened the Cape Cod School of Art, which flourished under his direction until his death thirty years later. A highly esteemed teacher, he gave weekly critiques and instructive talks but never dictated his own methods.

 

Hawthorne's earliest still lifes of fish with pots and pans betray Chase's influence in their dark tonalities and bravura brushstrokes. After moving to Provincetown, Hawthorne began focusing on portraits of the hardworking fishermen of the village. In an era when facile brushwork, picturesque views, and genteel Impressionist subjects dominated but were quickly becoming outmoded, Hawthorne's early works were often praised for their ruggedness, realism, psychological insight, and American subject matter.

 

In 1906-7 Hawthorne traveled to Italy with his new wife, artist Ethel Campbell. He studied the Old Masters and developed new painting techniques, such as the use of oil glazes over tempera, which produced his marvelous color-saturated, glistening surfaces. Although he had begun exhibiting frequently after 1902, his success increased after he returned to Provincetown from Italy. He began showing at New York City’s influential Macbeth Gallery, and in 1908 was elected an associate at the National Academy of Design. In the early teens he exhibited at the Paris Salon and with the Society of American Artists in New York.

 

Hawthorne’s reputation was based on his portrayals of Provincetown fishermen and their families and of members of Provincetown society as well as on his generic, sentimental images of "American madonnas." Toward the end of his career he also painted watercolor views of Provincetown landscapes.

The NBMAA collection represents the major artists and movements of American art. Today it numbers about 8,274 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs, including the Sanford B.D. Low Illustration Collection, which features important works by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.

 

Among collection highlights are colonial and federal portraits, with examples by John Smibert, John Trumbull, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, and the Peale family. The Hudson River School features landscapes by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Martin Johnson Heade, John Kensett, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Church. Still life painters range from Raphaelle Peale, Severin Roesen, William Harnett, John Peto, John Haberle, and John La Farge. American genre painting is represented by John Quidor, William Sidney Mount, and Lilly Martin Spencer. Post-Civil War examples include works by Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, George de Forest Brush, and William Paxton, and 19 plasters and bronzes by Solon Borglum. American Impressionists include Mary Cassatt, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Willard Metcalf, and Childe Hassam, the last represented by eleven oils. Later Impressionist paintings include those by Ernest Lawson, Frederck Frieseke, Louis Ritman, Robert Miller, and Maurice Prendergast.

 

Other strengths of the twentieth-century collection include: sixty works by members of the Ash Can School; significant representation by early modernists such as Alfred Maurer, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Weber; important examples by the Precisionists Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, Preston Dickinson, and Ralston Crawford; a broad spectrum of work by the Social Realists Ben Shahn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and Jack Levine; and ambitious examples of Regionalist painting by Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry, and Thomas Hart Benton, notably the latter’s celebrated five-panel mural, The Arts of Life in America (1932).

 

Works by the American Abstract Artist group (Stuart Davis, Ilya Bolotowsky, Esphyr Slobodkina, Balcomb Greene, and Milton Avery) give twentieth-century abstraction its place in the collection, as do later examples of Surrealism by artists Kay Sage and George Tooker; Abstract Expressionism (Lee Krasner, Giorgio Cavallon, Morris Graves, Robert Motherwell, Sam Francis, Cleve Gray), Pop and Op art (Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Robert Indiana, Tom Wesselman, Jim Dine), Conceptual (Christo, Sol LeWitt), and Photo-Realism (Robert Cottingham). Examples of twentieth-century sculpture include Harriet Frishmuth, Paul Manship, Isamu Noguchi, George Segal, and Stephen DeStaebler. We continue to acquire contemporary works by notable artists, in order to best represent the dynamic and evolving narrative of American art.
