Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for the discussions regarding art
information instruction and literacy.

*knowing where to find the information when you need
it is always essential
At the University of Iowa circa 1988, the language
(Spanish, French) departments centered language
instruction using the TPR method (total physical
response). It was thought at that time that language
could be learned faster and easier if you moved while
speaking it.
i.e. Fermez la porte
An instructor would have a student speak the phrase
and demonstrate the closing of the door at the same
time, this would enable that student to learn the
words in french.
Diana Cooper's project based tutorials sound as though
they are based on some of the principles of TPR.
Paul Glassman's method could be called TVR (total
visual response). I agree that some students learn
faster and easier using graphics/images.
It is a constant challenge to keep everyone educated
and au courant to new methods in retrieveing art
information. It is also vital to our existence that
they understand where information comes from...
Two cents worth,
Stephanie Sueppel
