My awesome attempt at imaginative bridging... here goes...
A few of our readings talked about consistency and flow. Just like the cover of a piece must be linked with the interior, so too must the intro to a lesson and the lesson itself. It must be appealing and engage the audience as well as keep them thoughtfully involved throughout the lesson. I guess that seems obvious. So another bridge I considered is the use of consistency. Consistency in typography, margins, and image can be comparable to a teacher remaining consistent in grading, discipline, humor, classroom routines, etc. Students and art audiences alike rely on an "artist's"/teacher's consistency; Nature of each beast. For example, Monet and Picasso are pretty different- but both great painters. A lover of Monet loves the brush strokes and or color choices which seem to be consistent facets of his pieces. The same person may also love Picasso for quite different reasons. Similarly, a student relies on what they know to be the same from day to day with any given teacher. The student knows and understands what is acceptable behavior and what is not, they know the classroom procedures and policies, and they know the general flow of any given day. If a teacher suddenly changes a rule or procedure, it will likely be a surprise to a student who knows what to expect. If he/she can all of a sudden not get away with being tardy- it will through off their expectations and comfort with a teacher. The same would be true for a lover of Monet if he had suddenly began using bold colors, sharp lines, and painted abstractions instead of scenery. Its an unpleasant change due to the inconsistency.
