RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Drawing - 6 Steem

I also believe in the ABCD acronym. And I tell you, it takes a lot of time, just like any other skill. But how does drawing improve one's memory? And what if someone is an auditory or kinesthetic learner?

@bluelavender Some learners learn faster when they see or have an imagination of what they are learning. So I tend to scribble some look-alike drawings to aid their imaginations, (this is usually an interesting session of my class, and it comes with lots of giggles with me pretending I can't draw). They never forget such learning, even for a moment!
I remember teaching age 3-4 about classes of plants where we had creepers, climbers, trees, flowers etc. They remember every bit of it because of the look-alike pictures drawn that they even pick it out on the TV with lots of shouts.
Auditory or kinesthetic learners are not missing out on learning as well, because what they listen to and want to feel while learning Drawing goes further to make the teaching much more alive so that it cannot be easily erased or forgotten from their memory.

It's interesting to hear that your drawings make teaching easier but drawings are also important to express feelings. Strange I haven't heard anyone mention that.
If you can't talk you can still make a drawing and there's no need to draw very well for that.
Teachers even label children because of what they draw and let parents show up. An interesting thing about drawings is also that everyone sees what he likes/wants to see influenced by?

It reminds me of a drawing a child made about the vacation. The teacher saw the parents and children hanging with a rope on their necks. The parents were ordered to come for a chat (or perhaps only the mother) who smiled and said the child had drawn very well what they did in their past vacation.the family had gone snorkelling in the sea.

I am still curious how that teacher felt. It also reminds me of psychiatrists asking patients what they see if pictures with dots on it are shown...
