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

The... point was which one are you the most.

I use all three to my advantage to enhance my ability to learn.
And it looks like I'm not the only one who said that.

EVERYONE uses all three to learn unless you are blind deaf or dumb.
The point was to choose the one you use the most.... -____-

So, what you're saying is that it is impossible to use all three equally. What if I don't have 'one that I use the most' ?
You can make a point without insulting people.("Blind, deaf or dumb")
I'm stopping this now, because I don't want to bring drama to :iconnovawuff:'s page.

Firmly in the experiencial camp, number 3. It's not good enough that I have a map, I have to make it. I don't learn by reading or hearing about things, but by doing them.

As to art, that means I have to actually do things before I can get it. so... yeah.

On the other hand, if I don't keep doing something, I'll lose it pretty quick. Hurray cramming through school!

This may not bode well for my art... derp.

Having fun while I learn or finding the things I'm learning to be practical and useful for the future help me learn the best, but going by your numbers thing I'd have to say I'm mostly a 3 with a little bit of 2. Being the first born I didn't have a sibling to watch (not till I was 4) and your parents don't teach you everything straight off the bat, plus I question things. Mom, "Careful, the stove is hot." Me, "Really? Doesn't look like it," touches stove and gets burned, "ok, I believe you." Picturing things in my mind also helps but doing whatever it is secures it in my head pretty permanently.

I'm all three, but i'm strongly experience oriented. I can learn something in any of those ways, but i'm too strong willed and stubborn to not test it! :D
