It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that
excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a
right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional,
nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. However, in the normal brain, with
extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two
hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized
functions.
Naïve art is usually defined as visual art that is created by a
person who lacks the formal education and training that a professional
artist undergoes. When this aesthetic is emulated by a trained artist,
the result is sometimes called primitivism, pseudo-naïve art, or faux
naïve art.

GROUP 6
Faith Markey, Kathleen (Katie) Kean, Sydney Frankel, and Val Ferrante
What is creativity: creativity is the ability to express your self, thoughts,
ideas without limitation. The ability to use your mind freely.
How can intelligence by dynamic, diverse, and distinct? there are
different types of intelligence: For example, emotional intelligence,
intellectual intelligence, and social intelligence; these represent
diverse subsets of intelligence. Every person has different
passions, and will be more intelligent in certain fields than others.
Therefore, no ones levels of intelligence are exactly the same.
Our teaching philosophy: to use different teaching styles that appeal to
different learning styles. it would help to sit in a circle so that
each student can look directly at each other. it would be
student-centered, so we can incorporate what the students
are interested in learning about/ what they respond to. we would
integrate technology into our lesson plans to help them be successful in
today’s technology-centered society.
