In this practice we had
to illustrate five different concepts with a drawing, and exchange our drawings with
other group which had to guess which concept we refer to each picture.
Our concepts were:
1. Indignantly
2. Wide
2. Wide
3. Deep
4. Blatant
4. Blatant
5. Dismissively

Have
you had any problem illustrating the concepts?
The concepts that we
have to draw were very abstract and we were thinking some time about what we
were going to do. But I think that we develop well, then we split the concepts
and each did it, without any problems.
-
How
it is easier to know what is the concept with a drawing or with a picture?
Always been said that a
picture is worth a thousand words, and schematic concept, a thought or an
object is less reliable than a good illustration. I think, both, a drawing and
a photo can be used for children to achieve meaningful learning, but sometimes
a picture may be more realistic and better adapt to the reality than a drawing
so the children can pick it best.

Why
do you think the other group has had problems to guess the word?
We think that our
exercise was successful because the other group has guessed three between five
concepts, we think that the cause of they have failed two it was because there
wasn’t clear enough maybe they were severely strained and sometimes a simple
drawing is clearer.
We made drawings
different concepts that the teacher has said. Some concepts were polysemous
words we found different meanings for a proper represetation. These words were
often abstract words. the drawings were done in different ways depending on the
personality or way of being of each. Words such as "future" or
"deep" we have found easier, however, words like
"beligerent" or "dismissively" did not know well as
represent them. By a few simple strokes we should explain some difficult
concepts. Our companions had to guess and understand the concept through
drawings. Being subjective drawings were not all easy to guess. This can be
compared to the way a teacher does a little picture for your students to learn
a new concept. From something as simple as was originally thought that we
realize that not everything is as easy to represent. We must be as precise and
expressive as possible for exercise to be effective. In our view we think that
exercise is an interesting way to realize our level of expression and
representation in media is not the word.
During our class, we
work with an activity called “illustrating words”, it has been made before by
