Oprah interview:
It's great to put a face and a voice behind the man behind the New Mind book. I wish I could have seen him talk about all six senses that are in the book. Oprah only brought up and talked about three of the six senses. It was interesting to me how fast Mr. Pink was able to summarize each big idea. I read the Symphony chapter before viewing this video (Because it is my assigned group). He only stated about four juicy sentences about the Symphony sense. In the four sentences he summed up the chapter and touched upon the quotes I highlighted throughout the chapter. I think he brought and embedded the point in the symphony chapter that it is the artist that defines this sense. He stated this because an artist can see the big idea. They can visualize the start and the end and can see how the end product should look like. He is a brilliant man!
Play:
It is refreshing to read something without the need to reread
a chapter in order to understand what is going on. Pink is easy to follow and
can tell a really good story while driving home his main points. Pink’s chapter
on play summarized to childlike playfulness creates relationships. I also do
not feel bad about playing video games now. He stated that we learn from them
(got that mom and dad!) I am just kidding about the video games because I was
never any good at them and my brother wouldn’t let me play with him. But now I
know what type of learning experience I missed out on. Maybe after the chaos of
this summer semester is over, I will take up playing video games in my free
time to build on my “play” skills; sharpen skills and solve-problems.
Freedman Ch6:
After reading this chapter I came up with the idea to do my Curriculum
unit on Identity. He talked about the construction of a range of art knowledge
on page 115. He followed his discussion on the following page and in it was the
theme of Identity. This is the theme I chose to use for the Critical Thinking
class this semester. Hopefully if I can figure out how to use it in a format
for this class I will have great exemplars.
