What's your Learning Style?

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 11, 2010, 12:20 PM
I can't do a poll since I don't have a paid account, but hopefully this works out anyways. :P

(edit.. :iconuntamed-animal: just bought me a paid account! wowza!  thanks so much, you rock!!)

   1. Listening learners
   2. Seeing learners
   3. Touch / experience learners

It's simple really. Think about one of life's earliest lessons - often taught by our mothers: The Stove Can Burn You.

   1. Listening learners heard their mother, believed the information, and never touched a stove.
   2. Seeing learners watched their brother touch the stove, and never touched it.
   3. Experience learners touched the stove; but only once!


I am very visual.  In school, when studying for a spelling test, I stared at the words until I memorized them visually and could see them in my head later, and could read them back off, correctly.  In math, I had to write tiny illustrated story problems for all my equations before I understood them.  If i'm driving someplace new, I refuse to take directions from someone orally.. they MUST draw me a map.  I have to see it!

I always assumed I was so visual because of my artistic tendencies, and/or vice versa, but then.... not EVERYONE who's an artist is a visual learner, right?

So i want to hear from you guys!  Tell me how you learn and how you think that changes the way you do art, if at all.  I'm really curious about this topic and I'd love to know what you guys think.

thanks a bunch! :D

I'm 101% visual learner. In contrast, I have very bad music and motion memory. I can listen to one song three days and the fourth day I can't sing it in my head because I don't remember the melody. It's even worse with body motion - I can't dance or do physical training. In school, I remember when we did one physical excersize over and over again and the teacher always led us (saying what exactly should we do). Then suddenly she stopped, because she thought we already knew what we should be doing - and I stopped moving because I could not remember what to do... X-D


At least I can remember almost anything when I can SEE it.

I'm a listening learner.
Which is not very handy. I can't use a reference to save my life e.e
Once I had a DRAWN elbow lineart, and I couldn't even reproduce it.
At least it means I just have to listen in class and I barely have to study, since I have a great memory too.
Gah, I should have went in music.
But I love drawing too much...

I'm very weird... I'm all three! We had to do a test in school and I scored equally on each of these areas :)

Oh, and as for the effect that has on my art? I dunno... all I know is that I have to listen to an audiobook when I draw, usually. It can be totally unrelated to the drawing, but it helps me concentrate *is strange*

Touch/experience all the way XD
Can't really say that I can learn EVERYTHING i get in to, but most of em It's no problem
Every once in a while I run into a small roadblock, but that usually means a FUNK X_X
On rare occassion do I learn it all by reading or oral instruction
