What kind of learner are you ?(Late post)

So today in my new Module, "Animation theory"  we learnt a lot of stuff, well firstly what theory is all about. 

Theory is basically ideology and what is ideology? Ideology is a view of the world that suits the interests of certain people and why people so certain things 

Now what does this have to do with animation? Ideology affects the filming process directly, it's how the director or the artist or scriptwriter or whoever views life that he or she will respond in what they do. A scriptwriter who likes history and governmental issues will be more inclined to produce literary work about the nature of man, or an Artist who is very compassionate, his/her artwork will usually have some kind of story behind them. 

So in other words, as an Animator my ideologies are what will affect my choice of design and so on. 

We also had to find out what type of learner we are. There are different types of learners, Auditory learners, visual learners, and Hands-on learners. I did a few online tests and I've found out I'm a visual learner, meaning I prefer to see people do stuff or watch presentations and videos and learn that way. 

I think that's quite true because I'm not very adept with the hands-on method and auditory method. I prefer someone having a go at something first so I know I won't be making their mistakes. 

- Some study tips for visual learners like myself

So basically that's just a summary of Animation theory 1 (Day 1) hope to have more stuff soon. Till then, cheers.
