Post #7: Rube Goldberg

Rube Goldberg’s art is very interesting. It reminds me of the way that little children make up complex stories to answer a simple question. I think it is adorable and would love to try to draw one for myself. One thing that I thought was a good idea in this article was to draw the way that people thought how children learn. I thought that this was a very creative idea. If people, mainly teachers, understood or had an idea of how children learned and followed that guideline then children will benefit greatly.

Shouldn’t teachers understand how children learn? Sure Rube Goldberg’s picture may have a pot and a conveyor belts in his diagram but if teachers had their own understanding. What steps and levels students need to accomplish to get to the next then than I believe that teachers would stress these levels on every child and help them accomplish what they need to know. These types of drawings can also help students evaluate what they know and can help them come up with creative pictures!
