Imagery and Meaning
This document discusses imagery and its use in literature. It defines imagery as the mental pictures or sensations that readers experience based on an author's use of descriptive words that appeal to the senses. There are five main types of imagery: visual (what is seen), auditory (what is heard), kinesthetic (what is felt), olfactory (what is smelled), and gustatory (what is tasted). Several examples are provided for each type. The document then analyzes a poem for the different types of imagery used, including visual, kinesthetic, and others. It encourages identifying imagery to better understand an author's intended meaning or message.
Semiotics theory of visual communication
There are three types of signs that help us understand pictures: symbolic signs which have no obvious connection to what they represent (e.g. the word "CAT"); iconic signs which visually resemble what they depict (e.g. computer icons); and indexical signs which have a direct connection to what they indicate (e.g. a tear meaning sorrow). Pictures also use visual codes like dress codes and color codes to convey meaning. Kanji characters in Japanese are an example of entirely iconic symbols as each resembles the word it represents. Understanding these signs, symbols and codes helps us accurately interpret visual information.

DRAMA powerpoint presentation.
Drama is a story meant to be performed on stage rather than read. It contains literary elements like plot, theme, characters, and dialogue; technical elements like scenery, costumes, and lighting; and performance elements like acting, vocal delivery, and facial expressions. Aristotle was the first to identify key elements of drama over 2000 years ago, including plot, theme, characters, thought, music/rhythm, and spectacle. While some elements have evolved, like replacing music/rhythm with conventions and adding genre and audience, Aristotle's analysis remains influential in understanding drama.
Symbolism
Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities that are not literally expressed. Symbols can be objects, actions, people, places, words or colors that represent something beyond their literal meaning. Authors use symbolism in literature to add deeper layers of meaning and to subtly represent themes, moods and emotions. Common symbols include colors, objects from nature like rivers or trees, animals, and unusual character or place names. Paying attention to symbolism allows readers to find meanings in stories beyond just the surface level plot.

Objective criteria include ideas that are interesting, effective structure, an appropriate voice, specific language, and correct conventions. In the end, the document concludes that both subjective and objective views are relevant but there is no single right answer, and writers should consider different perspectives.
Narrative structure
Narrative structure refers to the fundamental framework and order of a story. There are two main parts: the story, or raw events, and the plot, or how the story is structured and told. There are several types of narrative structures that determine the order of events, including linear, non-linear, fractured, collage, braided, parallel, framed, and circular structures. Key elements that make up narrative structure include setting, plot, conflict, characters, and point of view.

The facilitator learned that more space and a longer time period would better accommodate residents' needs.Art facilitation Women’s Refuge

The women's refuge provides emergency accommodation and support services to women and children experiencing domestic abuse. Services include counseling, legal and medical referrals, and 24/7 support. An art facilitation session was conducted with a service user to promote positive self-esteem and address fears through creating a rainbow of positive adjectives and a dreamcatcher. The session helped the user open up and feel safe while boosting her self-esteem and sense of achievement in her creative works. Feedback was positive about using art to support women in the refuge.After school Project - masks
The document describes an after-school program located in Westmeath, Ireland that serves underprivileged children ages 5-10. It provides activities from 3:30-7pm during the school year such as homework help, arts/crafts, sports and snacks. The program aims to promote creativity and self-expression. The case study then discusses a mask-making art activity done with 10 children as part of the program, including preparing materials, introducing and facilitating the activity, and the positive outcomes for the children.
Drama in Early Years
Pretend play allows children to use their imagination to dramatize scenarios while developing language, creativity, social skills, and problem-solving. An area set up like a home with furniture, kitchen items, dolls, and doll accessories encourages home life dramatization. Additional materials like shop items, medical supplies, and transportation toys expand dramatic role-playing opportunities to include different occupations and adventures. Small world toys with miniatures provide more imaginative dramatic settings.
Tips for supporting Play with toddlers
Tips for supporting play with toddlers include providing a room layout that allows easy movement, accessible low-level toys, and offering choices. Toddlers need opportunities for both active indoor and outdoor play using their large muscles, as well as experimenting with natural materials like sand, water, sticks and wood, rather than prescribed activities like coloring pages. Adults should support toddlers as they learn through solitary, parallel and shared play.
Children's Artwork
Children's artwork shows their imagination and development. Through art, children can express themselves and how they view the world. Art is a way for children to be creative and learn about colors, shapes, and exploring their ideas through different mediums.
Tips to Support Children's Creativity
How can you support your child's creativity? Art is a great way and the slides give a few tips to help
Children's Creative Development
Children begin scribbling by making random marks with various objects to practice their motor skills, starting with circles and then progressing to more complex shapes like squares as they develop. Once children have learned different shapes they move on to drawing people, showing the stages of creative development from simple scribbles and marks to more advanced drawings.
Designing Shoes with Young people
Youth Work Ireland Monaghan is a nonprofit organization established in 1985 that aims to assist young people aged 8-25 in County Monaghan, Ireland. It provides various services, including youth cafes, after school clubs, and projects targeting early school leavers. The organization is managed by a voluntary Board of Directors and employs staff to deliver programs. One such program described is a doodle shoes art facilitation, where 12 youth customized their new shoes with markers, glitter and other decorations in a creative and social activity.
Turkey Activity in Childcare
This document provides a record of a classroom activity where children made paper turkeys. It describes the materials used, the steps to complete the activity, intended learning outcomes around colors, shapes, and birds, and evaluations. The activity aimed to teach children how to make a turkey using paper, leaves, and other materials while developing motor skills. It could be adapted for different ages and made more inclusive.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Symbolism
- 1. SYMBOLISM A symbol is something that represents something else
- 2. WHAT CAN BE A SYMBOL? An object Picture Written word Sound Numerals Language
- 4. SIGN AND SYMBOLS Sign – one meaning Symbol – many meanings
- 5. MATHEMATICAL SYMBOLS OR SIGN?
- 6. POLITICAL SYMBOLS Maple Leaf = All things Canadian Red Bars = Pacific and Atlantic Ocean (surrounding Canada) Red Bars also = English and French influences
- 9. PERSONAL SYMBOLISM Personal meaning Objects Places Dreams
- 10. SYMBOLISM IN WRITING Symbolism is used to provide meaning to the writing beyond what is actually being described Plot and action are one level in the story, symbolism is another level
- 11. SYMBOLISM IN WRITING The theme is represented on a physical level Example: A storm occurring when there is a conflict or high emotions Example: Transition from day to night might = move from goodness to evil
- 12. EXAMPLES FROM LITERATURE Lord of the Flies Ralph with his conch shell represents order and democracy, while Jack symbolizes savagery and anarchy. The island itself symbolizes the world in which we live, and the actions of the characters are symbolic of the way people conduct their lives
- 13. EXAMPLES FROM LITERATURE Harry Potter Could be seen as containing a lot of symbolism, although there are as many interpretations as there are creatures in the books. One clear symbol is a commonly used one—the use of the snake to represent evil. It is no coincidence that the symbol of Slytherin House is a serpent.
