Hello again friendly followers!!

For my header image I wanted a picture that relates to physical activity but I didn’t want it to be associated with weights or working out in the gym.

I love images of skeletons and cadavers; I really just love everything about the human body and love to learn why we are the way that what we are. One thing I have always been really passionate about is exercise physiology and our anatomy. I just wanted my page to have images related to the body and strength, and for me, blue is my favorite color and feels really powerful. So here’s my picture of the human body in blue:) from Microsoft Designer.

Both images were made with microsoft designer

I also really loved the discussion around the different types of infographics, especially because I think that every infographic is seductive in it’s own way;)

BUT, I wanted to draw my own and do my own little comparison. And because I LOVE the human body, this seemed like a good opportunity to make an infographic for the nervous system.

Seductive infographic of the nervous system

It’s funny, because when I first saw the infographics I thought they were all great! But that is obviously only accounting for my own abilities; I did not think anything was over the top because of my prior experiences but I can see how too many words can be overwhelming and irrelevant. I think for me when I read extra information I just think ‘wow something new I’ve learned’, but in a classroom you only have so many chances to have your students understand concepts so adding irrelevant information is not helpful.

Hope you loved my drawings!!

until next time,

xoxo
