Why I Teach Art...
Why I Teach Art... âDiamonds are created under pressure.âOne of my teachers told me this on a day when I was having a particularly hard time finishing an art project at school. I asked her why she said it, and she explained that even in the most difficult moments in our lives, we have the ability to generate sparkling brillianceâ¦.like a diamond. A new-found sense of possibility came into my spirit and I was able to create a beautiful sculpture out of the clay that I thought would forever remain a blob on the table!Children have an amazing ability to discover deep feelings and inspiration through creating art. Art allows us all to capture our imaginations and then interpret what we see in our minds eye through clay, paint, photography, tissue paper, mosaics or whatever we can get our hands on and heads around.I believe in teaching Art as if it is not simply the facility of learning how to manipulate a material or a achieving a skill or technique. I teach art as if it is a life lesson, a history le sson and journey to the core of the human soul.Art is a reflection of the human experience, therefore I teach the social and cultural context of an art-form first. Why was this particular art-form important? How did it function within a culture? History? What effect did it have on people?Then we go about learning materials, texture, technique and exploring the creative processâ¦.always asking questions and nurturing critical thinking skills along the way.Then we start laying out the piece, using math and geometry to plan how we will display or install the piece when it is finishedâ¦.discussing what we have learned and what the final piece means to us individually and as a group.I teach children that there is a beginning, middle and end to the process of creating. I teach them to think about how it will be presented, who will the audience be that receives it, and how might people interpret the piece when they see it?In that essence, I tell my students that there are no mistakes in Art, because Art is honest communication. Just like our feelings, every artistic moment is a chance to express what we feel, how strongly we feel, and make a choice about how we will interpret the ways we feel.Being able to take children on such a personal journey is both a great responsibility and tremendous joy. The Arts have the abilty to open our minds, heal our hearts and make the World a more interesting place.That is why I teach ARTâ¦â¦
Windows 8 3 Reasons Why You Shouldnt Upgrade
Windows 8 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Upgrade Photo from microsoft.com Windows 8 didnt look very new to me â" and I realized Id been seeing this same interface since the arrival of the Windows Phone. Microsoft is clearly cross-promoting their tablet, phone, Xbox and computer brand. The new interface, or rather the old interface formerly known as Metro, looks and feels like a touchscreen. Though Im sure Windows 8 works like a dream on convertible Tablet PCs, I still rely on my mousepad and wireless mouse, and the experience is truly sub-par. Windows 8 is made with fingers in mind, not mice. While the Windows 8 interface is very pretty, it is at the price of functionality. 2. A counter-intuitive learning curve For months, I thought that Windows 8 was essentially a faster Windows 7, just with a new start menu. How wrong I was. The system relies on mouse gestures such as moving to the corners to change windows, return to Start, use Charms and more to really work. The system is completely counter-intuitive, especially because it relies on a mobile-based interface. I spent most of the first day using Windows 8 just moving my mouse around and trying to learn all the new quirks. At first, I only had a few questions: Wheres the Control Panel, how do I scroll, etc. Gradually, more and more questions popped up: How do I close this app? How do I delete this tile from Start? Where are the rest of my programs? To top it all off, it took me an agonizing five minutes to figure out how to just shut down the computer. The first day using a new computer should be exciting and uplifting, not frustrating to the point that I want to tear out my hair. Ironically, for a system that simplifies the start menu, Windows 8 simply expects too much from its users. 3. Modern vs. Desktop Apps Windows 8 features new modern apps as its main attraction: users can click tiles on the Start menu that lead to clean, appealing full-screen PC-version mobile-style apps. The desktop is familiar to Windows 7 users, just missing the beloved Start button. Apps that dont have modern counterparts yet simply run on the Desktop. Best of both worlds right? Wrong. Desktop apps dont run in the modern, full-screen experience and vice versa. Switching from a modern app to the Desktop is easy enough, but switching from Desktop to a modern app or even from a modern app to another modern app requires waiting for the loading screen each time. This process wastes time and can become utterly infuriating. Users now have to remember which apps are running on Desktop and which require the modern interface. Even as an avid Windows lover, Windows 8 has earned two double facepalms from me. While the learning curve might be slightly less steep on a tablet PC, the rest of us traditional PC users are left with the considerably shorter end of the stick. With the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro starting at a discounted $40, I would cautiously urge you to reconsider putting that moolah towards something more useful. Thoughts? Love Windows? Hate it? Let us know in the comments below!

Andy Completes the October Language Challenge!
Andy Completes the October Language Challenge! Andy is our new UX Designer and recently joined the italki team in September. One of the first things he did was join the italki October Language Challenge as he really needs to improve his Chinese as you can tell from his Public Video Pledge. Hes graciously offered to blog about his experiences and how he is going to conquer the Challenge! Take it away Andy Yeah! I Made it!!! Im so happy i was finally able to focus an entire month on learning chinese, i really needed it! I always thought that chinese is way to difficult but it only requires some time and dedication. Looking back at it, it wasnt even so hard. 12 hours per month, or 3 hours per week are something really easy to achieve. The main lesson that i learnt is that i also needed to account time to review the lesson by myself in order to be really efficient with the time i spend with the teacher. This improves the result by a lot, but it also requires more time than i thought. Developing a routine was also useful to achieve the goal. A routine that was working for me, was to wake up earlier and get a class before going to work. Additionally, i was alternating teachers lessons days with personal review days. This also helps you optimize the cost of your learning, at the end of the month i practiced around 20-24 in total, but only 12 of those hours were with a teacher. Overall, it feels great now! I can finally start to have some short conversations with my chinese friends in chinese, but i still have a long time to go before been able to properly hold a more serious discussion. Fortunately, there will be a new language challenge soon! ?? (I have inside information!) Happy learning! Andrea P.S. Check out my AFTER challenge video below!

Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace
Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace The formation of a new individual from their parents is called reproduction. The formation of a new individual if only one parent is involved is called asexual reproduction. Reproductions are of two types- sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction: The reproduction in which two parents of opposite mating types are involved. Asexual reproduction: The reproduction in which only one parent is involved in the production of a new individual. Thedifferent types of asexual reproduction are vegetative reproduction, budding, spore formation, regeneration, Fragmentation etc. Disadvantages of asexual reproduction: 1. When numerous individuals are produced during asexual reproduction there will be a struggle for soil, nutrients and light which affects the health of the newly formed plants. 2. Asexual reproduction doesnt allow any type of genetic variation as there is only one parent is involved in it. 3. As only one parent is involved there is no recombination of genes in asexual reproduction. It is genetically static. 4. The newly formed individuals are exactly the same copy as that of their parents. So if there is any genetic defect in the parent, it will be transferred to the offspring 5. The whole population of the new individuals will be completely wiped out when an unfavorable condition exist. 6. As the newly produced individuals shows less genetic variety, there will be a lesser chance of survival in a changing environment. 7. As there is no fusion of gametes there is no variety in the offspring during asexual reproduction. 8. Reproduction leads to overcrowding and a struggle for existence. 9. Harmful mutations cannot be removed by asexual reproduction.

I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.â - Martha GrahamBallet, hip hop, salsa, and modern jazz are some of the most popular styles of dancing. While we often think that learning to dance is just for kids, you can learn the steps for ballet at any age. More and more adult ballet classes are starting.To do ballet, youâll often need a ballet leotard, tights, and some demi-pointe or pointe shoes. Tutus are just for use on stage and aren't usually typical dancewear when practising.So how can you choose your leotard?

It looks a lot like a bather or a bodysuit without the buttons and it may even have a tutu sewn onto the hips. While most of us probably picture tutus when we think of ballerinas, these are only for performances. (Source: lika777)The leotard isnât obligatory for every dance class, especially if your dance class doesnât have a strict policy on what you wear. That said, while you can attend a ballet class in leggings and a tank top, there are several advantages to wearing a leotard.It was designed with movement in mind so you can focus on your dancing without being distracted by your clothing. Similarly, it helps your teacher to better see your movements and correct you if youâre doing it wrong, something they wonât be able to see with baggy clothes. The leotard also acts as a dancerâs second skin and will facilitate their movements. Thus, even if you think youâre too old to wear a leotard, you might want to consider it.There are several types of leotard you can get according to your body type.Dance Leotards with Thick StrapsWhile this style is falling out of fashion, itâs often r ecommended for your children who are just starting their ballet lessons. They can comfortably move without the straps moving about.Leotards with Thin StrapsThis style is far more common. You can find leotards with thin straps, backless, or with elaborate lattices on the back. Make sure that your dance leotard matches your body type:Thin or overweight: avoid lattices on the back as they wonât do much for you.Large chest: avoid plunging necklines and opt for leotards with reinforcement around the chest area.Broad shoulders: avoid thin straps and opt for a crew neck.Small neck: choose a V or boat neck.If you have a short or long torso, you may want adjustable straps.Sleeveless LeotardsThese attach behind the neck and offer a particular style. However, there are a few disadvantages to them:They can pull on the back of your neck and become uncomfortable.As you bend down, they may reveal your chest.If you have large shoulders, they may be unflattering.Short-sleeve, 3/4 Sleeve, or Long S leeve LeotardsWhile very elegant, these types of leotards arenât very common during ballet for one simple reason: ballet lessons often take place in heated rooms and nobodyâs cold while theyâre doing ballet. However, if you donât like your arms, they may help you feel more comfortable.Leotards with ShortsAs we get older, we may get certain complexes about our bodies. A simple leotard and tights combination might be found for prepubescent children. That said, older dancers may not feel comfortable in this type of clothing. This is why there are leotards with shorts built into them to hide your thighs and bum. If you still donât feel comfortable, you can opt to wear leggings over the top.Leotards for MenMenâs leotards usually have short sleeves but there are almost as many variations available as there are for women with V necks, crewnecks, and long-sleeve options available. The bottom of menâs leotards tend to be like briefs and male dancers tend to wear shorts or leg gings over the top of their leotard rather than tights underneath them like female dancers.Find out more about makeup for dancers.Materials for LeotardsComfort is paramount. Thus, there are plenty of different materials used in the manufacture of leotards and only you can decide which one you prefer. Given how physically demanding ballet is, you'll want a leotard that stretches and wicks sweat. (Source: Pexels)LycraThroughout history, this has been the most common material used when making swimwear and gymnastic clothing. Leotards for little girls are usually made of lycra. Generally, itâs quite comfortable, easy to wear, and helps when you sweat. When youâre six years old, you wonât tend to sweat as much, but once youâve hit puberty, everything changes. That said, there may be other materials that you prefer.CottonThis is the nicest material to wear but it also retains moisture. Avoid leotards with sleeves if you donât want sweat patches at the end of your lesson. This material lasts longer but will also become rougher with each wash.MicrofibreThis material is ideal if you sweat a lot as it wicks away moisture. Youâll feel quite dry even after putting the effort in. However, it can get quite warm. Donât opt for a long sleeve leotard. You can also go for Tactel ny lon, polyester, or polyamide. Choose materials with elastane in them as they tend to be more comfortable.In any case, make sure you try your leotard before you buy it, especially if itâs your first ever one. If needs to fit without being too tight. If it leaves red marks on your skin, youâll need to change it. You need to be comfortable when moving around. Try a few dance moves when you try it out: plié, penché, sauté, etc.Colours for LeotardsIn some dance schools, you mightnât get a choice of colour. In some places, the colour represents your level and is useful for telling apart the beginners from the experts when it comes to an end-of-year show. However, this trend seems to be disappearing, especially in adult classes. Different styles of dance can have very different uniforms. (Source: habanera)Little girls donât get much of a choice as most leotards are in pinks and purples. After a certain age, you can start picking whatever colour you like. If youâre doing an end-of-year show, your teacher might ask you to get a leotard in a particular colour so that everyoneâs in the same colour.You can choose your colours according to your skin colour or hair colour or just according to which colours you like. Warm colours work well with darker hair and skin colours while cold colours work well with fair hair and paler skin tones.Warm colours include:RedDark pinkOrangeYellowCold colours include:BlueGreenPurpleLight pinkYou can also get black and white leotards. Black is thinning and is a good choice if youâre conscious about your weight or your figure.If you opt for a light colour, be aware that some of them can be sheer.Find out more about the cost of ballet outfits.Do You Need to Wear Underwear with a Leotard?For women with larger breasts, a bra is essential. Even if the leotard includes support, it mightnât be enough and you may end up with back pain and chest pain. Opt for a flesh-coloured bra with adjustable straps. Leotards can take some getting used to. (Source: sobima)You can wear a leotard like a swimsuit, without any underwear. Some dancers may feel more comfortable with nothing underneath than with their knickers hanging out of the bottom or underwear thatâll move about as they dance.However, youâre free to choose whatever you feel most comfortable with. Opt for underwear that doesnât stick out from under your leotard and knickers that wonât move around as you dance.So which leotard are you going to buy for your ballet lessons?To get you started, we recommend that you check out the ranges from Capezio, Wear Moi, Bloch, and Sansha.For more help with dancewear, dance shoes, or dance costumes, you can always ask your dance teacher or private tutor.If you need more help with ballet, think about getting in touch with the talented and experienced tutors on Superprof.

You have to put in extra work yourself between your lessons. There are many things you can do to boost your skills.Planning your revision between your lessons is essential (Source: Pexels)Plan Your RevisionThe first step is to know whatâs ahead of you. What do you need to cover?Ask your tutor or teacher for a brief outline of what you're going to cover in class. You can use your timetable to keep on top of revision between classes so you're you really know the topic or grammar rule before you move on to the next one.Taking notes in class and from your textbook (or worksheets, if your teacher uses them) is crucial. The acti on of making notes itself is a way of learning and remembering, no one can take information in just from staring at a page.Immerse YourselfListen and watch as much authentic content as you can. You need to immerse yourself in the language you are learning. Books, TV, YouTube, radio and subtitled films can all help.Reading helps you revisit learned vocabulary, and see those words in new sentences and contexts. One excellent source of foreign language exposure is through graded readers, which are designed specifically for language learners of different levels. Another good source is advertisements or menus, which tend to use short, colloquial text.Train your ear listening to Dutch radio and watching Dutch TV and Film. This is a great technique for comprehension. At the beginning of learning a language you feel like you should know every word but the more you listen to Dutch the more you'll be able to pick out keywords in a sentence so you can understand. As you listen you'll hear how they are using certain words or how they formulate sentences.It's good practice to note down words that come up often. These are usually connecting words or useful verbs that you can work in to your own speech.Get HelpAsk friends and family to test you. Get them to shout out a verb and you can conjugate it.
