Learning without noticing
Do you remember the pictures hanging on your bedroom wall in your childhood? Depending on your age and sex, it could have been Donny Osmond, Farrah Fawcett, even that poster of the girl in a tennis dress scratching her bum . Pity. Because there’s no doubt that the image you spend a lot of your childhood staring at, trying to go to sleep, or sent to your room for bad behaviour or just lying around doing nothing (before the age of computers in bedrooms) will be indelibly printed on your cervical cortex. And what if it had been a work of art? The Last Supper, for example? Or Caravaggio’s ‘Supper at Emmaus’? Or a poster of the world’s greatest scientists? Fantastic information printed on your brain for a lifetime – and with no effort! So get yourself down to http://www.schofieldandsims.co.uk/ and look at their ‘Famous People’ posters or http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/ and check out the posters in their shop. That empty wall space in your kid’s bedroom could be a springboard into learning something interesting – without trying.
