Date: 2018-01-08 05:50 pm (UTC)I just finished an AMAZING book by cartoonist/artist Lynda Barry called Syllabus
https://www.drawnandquarterly.com/syllabus
She taught eight courses (here at UW-Madison) that were cross listed between English, Art, and Science. The book shares her syllabi, and why she chose to teach the things she did. I SO WANT TO HAVE TAKEN THAT COURSE!
Anyway, she begins the classes by having the students carefully doodle spirals (and then expands to other shapes) as they listen to lectures about how art happens in the brain. Seems that drawing while listening changes how we learn.
(Thanks for the lovely card.)
