Seeing as Thinking: Careful Observation as a Bridge to Critical Analysis Sarah L. Morris University of Maryland 28 June 2010

Clearing the Way When has writing happened in a flow for you? When have you witnessed writing happening in a flow for your students? What have you done to cultivate that flow for yourself or for your students?

Why art? Don't ask me what I want to express with my pictures, ask yourself what they mean to you! -Michael Quack To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that is very good but that most people can't eat it.-Leo Tolstoy I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way.... things I had no words for. -Georgia O’Keefe Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. -Pablo Picasso

Notice and Focus Make an exhaustive list: “What do you notice?” Rank details: “What do you find interesting, significant, revealing, or strange?” Rosenwasser and Stephen (23-24) ‏

The Method Locate all exact repetitions. Locate strands (groups of similarities). Locate binaries. Choose the key repetitions, strands, and binaries and rank. Rosenwasser and Stephen (24-27) ‏

Reasoning: “So What?” Explain why the things are most significant or interesting or revealing or strange by using the descriptive evidence to make an interpretive leap. Asking “So What?” calls evidence into account, forcing analysis. Rosenwasser and Stephen (39-41) ‏

The Art (and Science) of Observation Gardener’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences Vygotsky and multiple literacies Berghoff et. al and semiotic thinking Albers: the process of making art is the same as the process of writing and the process of constructing clear thought Murray and writing to learn Careful, controlled observation is critical thinking
