article: There are many apps that can help increase your observation skills. These apps contain questions, games, and puzzles to improve your memory. Some apps include Lumosity, Cognito, and Peak. Kim's game is an old test that forces you to memorize objects. Have a friend place ten or fifteen random objects out in front of you. Study the objects for up to a minute before your friend covers them up. List as many of the objects as you can remember. When you're done, switch places with your friend to see how well they do. Once you have mastered memorizing objects, try becoming more specific. List as many details about the objects as you can. How big are they? In what order are they arranged? How many are there? Go to an art museum or find an online collection. Pick one piece of art that catches your eye. Study it for 60 seconds, then look away. From memory, try to recall as many details as possible about the picture. Try to describe the small, background details as well as the subject of the piece. For example, if it is a portrait, try to recall what the person is wearing, the room they are in, and any other objects around them. If the piece is a large landscape, you should try to remember where geographical features are. Are there trees in the picture? If so, which side of the painting were they on? Are they above or below something else? The Metropolitan Museum has a great collection of art online that you can use for this exercise: http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection. Spread out a deck of cards face down in front of you. Flip two cards at a time to match numbers. If the cards don't match, flip them back over. If they do match, remove them from the game. This game requires you to observe and memorize where certain cards are so you can make matches quickly. Time yourself as you play this game. Each time you play, try to beat your record. You can buy a set of cards designed for this game from a toy store or online. You can also use a regular deck of cards, although each number will have more than one match.

Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the wooden piece. Press the photo down onto the wood. Coat the photo with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Allow the Mod Podge to dry before applying the next coat. Let the Mod Podge dry completely before working on other sides. Allow the Mod Podge to dry and cure."
article: Choose something with a flat surface, such as a wooden block or a wooden board. You can even use a wooden jewelry box, as long as the lid is flat and smooth. You can find lots of blank wooden objects in the wood crafting section of an arts and craft store. Most wood objects from the craft store will already have a smooth surface, but they may have jagged edges. Sand those smooth with medium to fine-grit sandpaper. Work your way with the grain, not against it. To make sure it's smooth, you can slip a piece of pantyhose over the wood. If it doesn't snag on any small wood fragments, it's good to go. For a more professional touch, lightly sand the edges and corners of your wooden block or board. This give it a softer look. If you are applying a photo to a wooden board, the side edges will be visible. You can give your piece a nicer finish by applying two coats of acrylic paint to the side edges. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second one. Let the paint dry completely before moving on, about 20 minutes. Use acrylic paint in a color that matches the photograph. Extend the paint onto the front of the board. This way, if you accidentally cut the photo too small, you won't see any raw wood. If you are going to apply multiple photos to a multi-sided object (ie: a block), choose one side to start with. You can apply the Mod Podge with a wide, flat paintbrush or a foam brush. Make sure that you apply the Mod Podge thickly and evenly. Mod Podge comes in different finishes. Choose one that you like the best: matte, glossy, or satin. Lightly set the photo (face up) onto the wood. Nudge it into place, if needed, then press down onto it. Gently smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Work your way from center outward. Work from one side of the photo to the other. Use neat, straight, horizontal brush strokes. Let the first coat dry for about 15 to 20 minutes. Apply the second coat using the same technique as before. This time, work your way from top to bottom, using vertical brush strokes. This will give you a canvas-like texture. If you are making a photo block, use the same technique to Mod Podge the photo to the other sides; work one side at a time. If you painted the sides of a board, apply Mod Podge to the paint to seal it in. Mod Podge usually has a curing time in addition to a drying time, so check the label on your bottle. If you use a Mod Podged piece before it has finished curing, the surface may turn sticky and tacky.
