The document provides guidance on various aspects of drawing, including definitions of key terms like free-hand drawing, outline, and sketching. It discusses the importance of drawing as a way to develop observational skills and as a communication tool. Specific techniques are covered such as how to hold a pencil and how lines and shapes are used to depict forms and shadows. The overall focus is on building foundational drawing skills through understanding concepts like line, form and light.
In this class we discuss the role of the eye and brain in creating the visual world that we perceive, with special attention to the implications for art.
Explore how we see. Discover that our world of perception is not about documenting reality -- it's all about survival. We do not so much "picture" what's out there as we create a world of perception.

The moving self and the unmoving world are reciprocal aspects of the same perception. To say that one perceives an outflow of the world ahead and an inflow of the world behind as one moves forward in the environment would be quite false.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. On drawing
● The misunderstanding of the term free-hand drawing has led to considerable
confusion. It was originally applied to the copying, without instruments, of a
series of outline designs issued by the Department of Science and Art, and
has, unfortunately, become associated with that alone.
● Rightly understood it has a much wider significance, and should be applied to
all drawing where instruments, such as compasses, rulers, "c., are not used.
● In geometric drawing, instruments are used, and therefore this is not free-hand
work. Strictly speaking, models, flowers, landscapes, drawn without
mechanical assistance, ought to be considered as free- hand drawing.
3. ● A definition of the term ' drawing ' must be very
comprehensive if it is not to exclude some art
into which drawing enters more or less.
● Hamerton says :" ' If we say that drawing is a
motion which leaves significant marks, we are
as precise as the numerous varieties of the art
will permit us to be.
4. 2. elementary study is the first step towards ex- pressing
our ideas through the medium of art, and should be
practiced more or less from earliest infancy as a most
useful language, by which the perceptive faculties will be
quickened, 'and knowledge conveyed in a sort of short-
hand language requiring no translation, and understood
by all.
5. 3. The question is often asked, ' Can every one learn to
draw ? ' and although it may seem an ignorant question, it
had better be answered. All persons who can learn to and
offered a chair.
● In an unknown language two children, who had
concealed themselves behind their mother, were hastily
dispatched, and soon returned, one with a bundle of
sticks and the other with a can of spring water.
6. 4. But here arises an important question: What do we
understand by learning to draw ? There are various kinds of
drawing, and that which may be suitable to one purpose may not
be applicable to another.
● For example, the kind of drawing and knowledge requisite for
a man of culture is scarcely that best suited to an artisan.
7. 5. On the next page is given a supposed order for a common
box, which, though very rough (as though drawn in haste),would
be clearly understood by an intelligent work- man without any
chance of error.
● How great the advantage of drawing in this case is over a
written description only, may be felt if the student will try to
write out instructions for such a box without any drawing "
instructions that might not only be understood, but that could
not be misunderstood.
8. 6. To those who travel, even a little knowledge of free- hand
drawing, as here understood, will be not only useful but
delightful.
● The slightest sketch taken by oneself will, in after years, recall
more of the circumstances and associations than a
lengthened description, or even a photograph. Illustrations of
this kind of memorandum sketch will be found in various parts
of the work.
9. ● 7. But if true education be that which fits a person for
the after circumstances of life, then the requirements
of an educated man will be something far beyond the
power to sketch a few simple objects intelligently.
● He must have a knowledge of the general principles
of Fine Art, and such power in practice as will
developing him that aesthetic faculty without which he
can neither fully enjoy, nor accurately judge, in matters
of taste.
10. ON THE EYE.
● Of the five senses, or gateways of knowledge " seeing, and hearing, feeling,
tasting, and smelling " two, seeing and hearing, belong to the intellectual part of
our nature, whilst the other three chiefly supply our animal wants.
● The sense of seeing is at once the most active, the most comprehensive, and
the most intellectual of them all. It is the servant of the soul, and through it the
mind receives the richest variety of images, or ideas. F. W. Robertson says that
'the highest pleasure of sensation comes through the Eye.
● She ranks above all the rest of the senses in dignity. He whose eye is so refined
by discipline that he can repose with pleasure upon the serene outline of
beautiful form, has reached the purest of the sensational raptures.'
11. ● 10. The eye of a fish, or of a sheep, is probably as well
adapted to the purpose of their life as is that of a human being
; but the lower animals, being chiefly moved by instinct, have
their organs available when very young and with little training;
whilst a very young infant, though with the eye perfect as an
organ, requires long and frequent practice before it can judge
even of distance.
12. ● 11. The human eye is a wonderfully adapted, self
acting, self-regulating, ^and self-minding organ, for
seeing things large as mountains or small as motes,
very near or millions of miles away ; but it requires
training.
13. ● 12. Considered merely as an organ, the eye is a
compound lens, consisting of three principal
parts, the aqueous humour, the crystalline lens,
and the vitreous humour.
14. ● The aqueous humour is held in front of the eye by the
cornea, a transparent, horny capsule, something like a
watch glass in shape.
● the crystalline lens, is the iris, which surrounds the
pupil.
● Then follow the lens and the vitreous humour. Behind
this is a black pigment, upon which the delicate
network of nerves, called the retina, Is spread.
15. ● 13. By means of the iris the size of the
pupil may be caused to vary. When the
light is feeble the pupil expands, and when
it is intense the pupil contracts; thus the
quantity of light entering the eye is to some
extent regulated.
16. 14. The pupil also diminishes when the eye is
fixed upon a near object, and expands when it is
fixed upon a distant one. The image thrown upon
the retina is inverted.
17. 15. The eye possesses a power of adjustment for
different distances, chiefly by a change in the curvature
of the crystal line lens. Two objects at different distances
from the eye cannot be clearly defined at the same
moment : the adjustment of the eye for seeing one
distinctly will cause the other to become indistinct.
18. ON SEEING AND OBSERVING
● BY careful practice, as in drawing, the eye may be- come astonishingly
accurate as a measuring instrument. Hitherto the eyes have been spoken of as
a single organ, for, although we often use both, Art recognizes only one, or,
more correctly, one point of vision.
● An illustration of this parallax of vision may be seen in the ordinary
stereoscope, by placing in it two views exactly the same (i.e. taken from exactly
the same point).
● What is meant by parallax of vision may be better understood in the following
manner :" Hold a pencil or pen at a little distance from you, and look at it with
one eye closed, and observe what object or part of the room it obscures from
the view ; now, without moving the head or pencil open the other eye and close
the one just used, and it will be seen that the pencil now screens quite a
different part.
19. ON HOLDING THE PENCIL
● THE hand, as a prehensile or handling organ, varies much in
different individuals. In some, the fingers and thumb are long
and mobile, whilst in others they are comparatively short and
stiff ; but practice in the latter case will soon surmount almost
any want of physical adaptation.
● One of the most skillful performers on the piano forte in this
country has fingers so short that he can only reach an octave.
20. ON LINES
● BY a line is not here meant the abstract idea of length without breadth or
thickness, but an elongated mark or stroke made by some instrument on
a plane or surface. 3
● There are only two kinds of lines, straight and curved, and by means of
these all the infinitely varied and beautiful forms in creation may be
indicated.
● If you look round the room, you will not find any object or pattern that
may not be described by these lines. 37. A straight line may be defined
as a point continued in one direction, or as the nearest defined distance
between any two points. "
21. ON OUTLINE
● 5. OUTLINE may be understood to be the mere contour of any form (as Fig. 11).
● It may also mean a sketch with FIG. 11. lines to indicate its general and leading characteristics, thus :" FIG.
12. FIG. 13.
● Some objects may be clearly indicated by outline alone, 26 On Outline. 27 as leaves, "c. ; whilst others
cannot be satisfactorily expressed without shade " the sphere, for instance.
