Portfolios have been employed widely and successfully for assessment in the visual arts by the Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Arts PROPEL programs (Blaikie, 1994), the Dutch National Assessment System (Schonau, 1996), the British GCSE art assessment (MacGregor, 1990), and Australian and New Zealand Year 12 state and national assessments (MacGregor, 1990, 1991-page 34). Authentic assessment strategies, on the other hand, engage students in long; term tasks and meaningful projects that are challenging, complex, and reflect real; life situations (Zimmerman, 1994-page 67)
The validity of Witkin's theory of psychological differentiation was supported by the findings of a large study that examined the visual discrimination and spatial skills of eight different cultures. The cultures were stratified by the degree of Westernization, with the baseline representing societies almost completely dependent on hunting for survival (Berry, 1971)
Although increasing diversity can be a source of problems in an educational setting (Davis, 1993, p. 40), it can also enhance the learning experience for all involved (Brookfield & Preskill, 1999, p

Learning Objectives for Adult Education Managing and Exploiting the Impact of Classroom Diversity in Adult Arts Education As the American population becomes increasingly diverse, so goes classroom diversity (Cooper, 2012)
As an arts educator of adult students, the first learning objective will be to better understand these challenges and the recommend strategies for achieving academic success. Although increasing diversity can be a source of problems in an educational setting (Davis, 1993, p
The findings of Berry (1971) reveals Witkin's theory of psychological differentiation can be adapted easily to different cultures, thereby providing a theoretical framework for understanding the educational needs of adults in a culture-specific manner. However, the pattern has been to impose Western adult education approaches upon non-Western cultures (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007)
From a more traditional perspective it is hard to imagine how an online adult art education class could incorporate group discussions into its curriculum. One possible solution is to implement an online equivalent of an artist's portfolio; only instead of including only original works of art, the portfolio would also contain homework assignments, journal entries, teacher evaluations, and peer-assessments (Lin, Yang, Hung, & Wang, 2006)
But just as important are information flows. Information flows allow the various supply chain partners to coordinate their long-term plans, and to control the day-to-day flow of goods and material up and down the supply chain" (Handfield 2011)
After this disorder, and after the criticism, Jiang was successful in convincing his husband to actively participate in the affairs of state. He started to rejuvenate late and he allowed Jiang to leave his chambers after sunrise (Chen 171)
The fact that this disorder was associated with him was something that constantly bothered her. She was often seen to tell her husband that this order was coming from her and that she had the courage to accept her mistakes (Jin-cang)
She also claimed that Deng always used to lend her a shoulder to cry on. Since Huang and Deng both had immense respect for Taigong Wang, they often ended up in having arguments over him, even though these arguments were quite minor and were often based on their discussion of who knew him the most (Yejiaoshou.)
Some of the calligraphers -- the most talented ones -- would even be referred to as prophets and the general calligrapher was still better viewed than a painter. Some of these calligraphers are told to have had visions of what to write and they are highly revered in the Islamic culture (Caroll)
The Arabic calligraphy was used in all dimensions of Muslim life, such as the decoration of objects, walls, mosques or tombs. Its usage to promote the teachings of the Qur'an propelled it to it being recognized as a great Islamic art starting with the nineteenth century (Curtis, 2010)
The absence of imagery from the Islamic arts is often associated with the artistic inferiority of the Muslim world. And this is best viewed in relationship to the Renaissance in Europe, when arts flourished and paintings were created that still impress the viewer today (Hazen, 2002)
Its preeminent use is the writing of the divine message of the Qur'an, of course, which endowed it with extraordinary strength and transcendent significance. From this world's manifold possibilities, Allah had chosen Arabic as the vehicle for his final revelation" (Mubireek, 2000)
And aside from the lessons as well, the art behind the calligraphy strived to portray the symbolism in the holy book. The writings were created using various shapes and sizes of the letters and numbers and they led to the formation of pieces of art that combined the teachings of the deity with the comprehension capacity of the humans (Osborn, 2008)
Eligibility Age Another suggested reform for Medicare is the raise the age at which American become eligible for Medicare. Individuals and groups that support a rise in the eligibility age propose that raising the age to sixty-seven will result in huge savings (Waidmann 1998)
