My Thesis

Hey there.

I am Rodrigo Jonson Acuzar Jr. from the Philippines. I am currently studying at the University of the Philippines here in Manila.

I am a fine arts student majoring in visual communications and currently doing my thesis.

This is the theme of my study I am working on now:

What are the types of anachrome 3D images and scenes that are particularly useful in enhancing visual-spatial creativity of children under 10 - 12 years old?

I would like to know more about visual-spatial development under this age or this particular phase of their visuality.

I really need your help to know more about the kinds of 3D anachrome images and scenes that I could put in a children's picture book that could efficiently

help children under this age to be a "better looker".

My main objective of my study is trying to enhance the way a

child uses 3D to gain or enhance information about the visual world,

by training-type exposure to anachromes that I will develop. That is,

can a child become a "better and more creative looker?"

A novel contribution I would make is to see if I can make

variations in the images that are more effective than others in

allowing a child to find novel components of test-images you then

show them. Here is a hypothetical example. Do children initially

identify objects more readily if they are in the foreground, mid-

ground or far-away background of a 3D anachrome? Let's say it turns

out that things right in front are readily seen, and things further

back are somewhat ignored. If so, I would then make a short

anachrome book that places especially interesting objects and

features elsewhere than in the foreground, so that the child's

attention to them is easily captured. Then after training, I would

see if the child was better able to identify objects not in the

foreground, using another series of test images.

Obviously, instead of "foreground, mid-ground, background" I could

substitute any type of visual feature
