Experience Difficulty

All children with specific learning difficulties improve as they grow. In some, the difficulties resolve completely, while others continue to have some degree of difficulty in the specific areas of learning affected. We still have no way of determining which children will continue to experience difficulty and which will not. Nor do we have reliable figures on the relative proportions of those where the difficulties resolve completely and those where they persist. This chapter provides information and advice for adults with persisting specific learning difficulties. Many people are designed to be better adults than children. A child has little opportunity of selecting those things that he enjoys or finds easier, and to avoid those he dislikes or finds difficult. He is required to be an all-rounder, performing a wide range of activities, many under the critical scrutiny of his teachers and peers. It is daunting to think of what many children are required to do regularly at school: reading aloud, writing something that will be marked (for content, neatness, and spelling), doing arithmetical computations that will be checked, playing competitive sport, performing in a play in public, and playing a musical piece to a critical audience. An adult, on the other hand, can have a successful career and avoid any, or all, of these activities. Many famous people are said to have had a specific learning difficulty as children, but it is very difficult to know for certain if this is true. Nevertheless, many of their stories are highly suggestive of the condition. What they all show, whether they had a specific learning difficulty or not, is that problems with learning in childhood need not be a bar to outstanding achievements in adulthood. There follow some examples. . . . Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) . Famous as an author of children’s stories such as ‘The Little Match-girl’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’, his handwriting shows characteristics of specific learning difficulty. . . . . . . Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). Now famous for his sculptures, such as ‘The Thinker’ and ‘The Burghers of Calais’, he was regarded as ‘an idiot’, and ‘ineducable’ as a child. . . .

Loie Fuller

Loie Fuller was a founding figure of modern dance. After an early career in American vaudeville, she moved to Paris where she created a new genre that drew on popular cabaret motifs combined with free-flowing, more natural movements performed in bare feet and flowing robes, and—crucially—the incorporation of technology. Gaining acclaim for her incorporation of electric lights, mechanical stagecraft, and her oversized silk costumes—all her own design—she used her many patented inventions to transform herself on stage into whirling sculptures of colored light and floating fabric. Known as the electricity fairy, Fuller was extremely popular with audiences, was often considered as a kind of magician, and became one of the most famous Americans in Europe. Midway through her career Fuller assembled a troupe of young dancers—Les Ballets Loie Fuller—who toured the world performing with her. In her later years she experimented with cinema, becoming one of the first women filmmakers in the world. Prominent artists and writers such as Auguste Rodin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Stéphane Mallarmé were particularly interested in Fuller, and used her as a subject for their sculpture, painting, and poetry. She was also a popular subject for early photographers. Her fame was so great, and the French embraced her so thoroughly, that at the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, she was the sole performer to be granted her own theater, designed for her by esteemed Art Nouveau architect, Henri Sauvage.

В статье рассматривается проблема творческих истоков скульптуры Степана Эрьзи, в частности, развенчивается миф о его следовании художественной манере Огюста Родена. Сравнительная характеристика произведений обоих художников, посвященных образам Евы, Иоанна Крестителя и другим так называемым «вечным» темам и сюжетам, показала самостоятельность художественных приемов и оригинальность творческой эволюции искусства эрзянского мастера. In the article the problem of the creative sources of the sculpture of Stepan Erzya is considered, in particular, the myth about his adherence to the artistic manner of Auguste Rodin is debunked. Comparative characteristics of the works of both artists, dedicated to the images of Eve, John the Baptist and other so-called "eternal" themes and plots, showed the independence of artistic techniques and the originality of the creative evolution of the art of the Erzya master.
