[Art_beyond_sight_learning_tools] Professor John Kennedy Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada

[Lisa Yayla]

Hi,

I forwarded an announcement last week that  Professor John Kennedy has 
been elected as a Fellow of  the Royal Society of Canada. I would like 
to complete this with sending the text from the citation

The Royal Society of Canada Citation reads:

John M. Kennedy is a leader in perception and cognition research, whose 
work on pictures in vision and touch influences theory and new practices 
in education, museums and art galleries internationally. His 
groundbreaking research is on outline, perspective and metaphoric 
pictures by the sighted and the blind. He has tested drawing development 
in sighted and blind children, and has written extensively on the idea 
that drawing development occurs in a similar fashion in both groups. His 
work concerns cave art, perspective and metaphors for motion. He has 
been singled out as the originator of ideas that change the way we think.

Congratulations!

Lisa
