Often, McBride says, there is a ‘crunch’ that pushes adults into learning to read. One parent, whose child started school, couldn't help with homework or read school bulletins. Another young man wanted to send his girlfriend @ Valentine but couldn’t write it out. He put it off until the next year, and when he was no more capable, he decided to learn After he took the course, he not only could write Valen- tines to his girlfriend, but he

She says that perceptive thinking skills are of prime importance in our visual world, but that we restrict our full potential.

For one, we think that see- ing is only through the eyes, but really we see with our brains, based on the nerve signals sent by the eyes. Berukoff says that by using our eyes in different ways,

we use Our brains in dif- ferent ways. Another way Berukoff

belheves we limit our visual percepuion is by believing that words are the only valid way of thinking. But she says the use of language 1s only one way of relating to experience, through a word labelling system.

In the first part of the book, children have the -chance to experiment with

drawing new kinds of houses, faces, inventions, machines, natural forms and more. Rather than the child

beginning with an object to draw, as in traditional draw- ing, the object is the end result of a visual explora- tion.

For further information on the workshop call NV Ci- ty Library at 980-4424. The book ts available at Duthie Books, Peregrine’s Books, Vancouver Kidsbooks, The BCTF’s Lesson Aids Department or through author Mary Berukoff at 732-5026.
