A complete Rasch multi-faceted analysis was performed on the draft Spatial Reasoning Assessment. While the psychometric report presents the complete analysis for the examination, this discussion proceeds step-by-step to understand the way in which the analysis proceeded, and the findings therein. The findings were that holistically, the instrument performed admirably. As a pretest, it is likely that students were not expected to demonstrate certain reasoning skills (e.g., GIS) as indeed they did not. The rating scale functions well to capture the examiner judgement. Overall, the instrument works together as a functional assessment, capturing the general construct of Spatial Reasoning.

AbstractThis article focuses on the production and dissemination of photographic images by serving US soldiers in Iraq who are photographing their experiences and posting them on the Internet. This form of visual communication – in real time and communal – is new in the representation of warfare; in earlier wars soldiers took photographs, but these were not immediately shared in the way websites can disseminate images globally. This digital generation of soldiers exist in a new relationship to their experience of war; they are now potential witnesses and sources within the documentation of events, not just the imaged actors – a blurring of roles that reflects the correlations of revolutions in military and media affairs. This photography documents the everyday experiences of the soldiers and its historical significance may reside less in the controversial or revelatory images but in more mundane documentation of the environments, activities and feelings of American soldiery at war.

Communication is a conversation, communication, the way information is provided. The museum's exposure language must be aesthetic, informative, cognitive process and memory stimulation.The designer, who designs and offers museum–oriented and up–to–date design solutions, plays a major role in solving the issues. The designer, in collaboration with the museum's staff, should prepare materials and programs for the society that are in line with the museum's goals and objectives and which society would also consider worthwhile. The authors of the article have learned the wishes of the director of Vilakas County Museum and information about the graphic design requirements of ergonomic visual communication have been gathered, and the school history of the Vilakas County Museum has been developed.The purpose of the article is to study the materials necessary for the exhibition of the Vilakas Region Museum and testimonies, information on visual communication in museums, analysis of interactions between graphic design and visual communication, as well as to analyze the visual design of the graphic design for the Vilakas Museum exposition on the history of regional schools.Research methods are the study of literature and internet sources and analyzes the opinion of the director of the museum.

In the visual background, diversified and personalized art design styles gradually permeate society and people’s habit of receiving information. With the constant improvement of the visual sensory requirements, word is no longer the only dissemination channel and its dominance suffers great influence. Visual communication is the vitality of the layout design. The design form of image application and graphic combination has has influenced social groups’ the habit of receiving information increasingly. A new form makes the pages more unique, full and has a sense of beauty. This paper introduces the way to analyze the relative relationship between the image and layout design in the visual background, whose purpose is to provide a theoretical basis for designers to wake with the reasonable application in the layout design.

<p>This paper focuses on the construction of a hand drum by a Native American drum maker, and the construction of an anastomosis by a thoracic cardiovascular surgeon. Neither activity occurred with written instructions or illustrations. Each construction occurred through the ability to move mental images and procedures to their fingertips using their visuospatial reasoning (Owens, 2015). For the drum maker, learning was through mentorship, observation, and practice. Each of them, the drum maker and surgeon, developed rich spatial reasoning skills that are built on relationships. For the drum maker the relationships have to do with the geometry of the drum and it’s components just as the surgical geometry relationships exist in the operating room. For the drum maker tensions are felt with the fingertips, the same experience of the surgeon. Parallels are highlighted between these seemingly unrelated activities with a discussion of possible implications for Mathematics Education.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Ethnomathematics.

Manuscript is a cultural product belongs to every civilized community that understands letters and words. Visual communication, before script and writing were established, such as ancient drawings, has been used by people since thousands years ago.  The discovery of picture in prehistoric caves is considered as the beginning of drawing tradition towards the modern illustration. The discovery of scripts and writing shifted the tradition of drawing, although the simplest and the most effective communication is still the visual language.   It explains why an illustrative drawing in the old manuscript was used as a communication device which reflects the cultural development and the way of thinking from the society who created it. The tradition of writing and drawing in illustration was found in the Javanese and Balinese old manuscripts. The visual illustration, theme, and media of manuscripts shown similar in diversity, depend on their role in social life. Some parts of those old manuscripts show unique illustrations as well as the local identity of the society. The illustration on manuscript reflects the society culture of thinking and aesthetic achievement of visual art.     Key Words: Illustration, old Indonesian manuscript, visual language.

Abstract By approaching the Observant Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence as a “practiced place,” this article considers the secular users of the convent’s library as mobile spectators that necessarily navigated the cloister and dormitory and, in so doing, recovers, for the first time, their embodied experience of the architectural pathway and the frescoed decoration along the way. To begin this process, the article rediscovers the original “public” for the library at San Marco and reconstructs the pathway through the convent that this secular audience once used. By considering the practice of the place, this article considers Fra Angelico’s extensive fresco decoration along this path as part of an integrated “humanist itinerary.” In this way, Angelico’s frescoes may be understood not only as the result of the social relationship between the mendicant artist and his merchant patron, but also, for the first time in art historical scholarship, as a direct means of visual communication with the convent’s previously unrecognized public audience and an indicator of their political and intellectual practices within the Florentine convent.
