Here is a great way to learn something new. See I was just wasting time online at this site. It is a jigsaw site. The puzzle comes up, you decide how many pieces it will be cut into and what shape. Then you race against the clock to build the puzzle. One of life's wonderful time-wasters for the overly stressed and underworked.

Well here's the thing. I did a couple of the puzzles called Fine Art and I realized that in putting the puzzle back together I really began to understand what was in the picture. I noticed details I had never really seen. I studied colour hues to make matches. I investigated textures, swirls, stars, cross-hatch and felt as if I had never really looked at these pictures before.
How I Would Use This
Honestly, I don't know. Just a reminder that when we give people a reason to look at something close up and in detail, they will look. In our trainings how often do we ask people to learn something, memorize something, or even do something, without showing them a really good reason why.
My reason was the clock. I wanted to beat the clock to finish my puzzle and in doing so, learned more about fine art than I ever thought I would.
