Andy and his highly creative wife, Sophie Miller, concocted this far-from-easy visual feast to explore massively important stuff that we cannot see- like HOPE and CHAOS and WISHES and THE NOW.
Using bold, bright illustrations and extremely carefully crafted words, they added tails and teeth and red and edges to these fabulous, fearful, frolicking concepts.
Words. And Pictures.
Pictures. With Words.
It's what learning scientist, Megan Sumeracki identifies as "DUAL CODING":
"Dual coding is combining words and visuals such as pictures, diagrams, graphic organizers, and so on. The idea is to provide two different representations of the information, both visual and verbal, to help students understand the information better. Adding visuals to a verbal description can make the presented ideas more concrete, and provides two ways of understanding the presented ideas"
And "They" say that dual coding is waaaay more proven in efficacy than the widespread notion of "Learning Styles" Which is FREAKISHLY SHOCKING to me- yet makes a glorious kind of sense that I am trying very hard to swallow with large amounts off good fizzy water and sizzling study right now.
Math and numbers are myterious monstrosities to me still.. but I can embrace this equation from experience:
WORDS + PICTURES = 3 (squillion).
