Engage the Heart and the Mind Will Follow
Art is the path to the human heart
|
Each Morning Earth Learning Activity
focuses on a major principle of ecology.
|
|
|
|
Each activity asks learners
to make some form of art.
|
|
|
|
As the art is made the student
implicitly learns the ecology principle. |
|
|
|
In this creating the mind is informed
while the heart is engaged. |
Why Art and Science Together?
Science and art are two ways of knowing. The separation between them is partly an illusion of our time, for science and art share much.
As we make art we practice what the two disciplines share:
| |
In both Arts and Science
We observe Nature closely |
|
| |
In both Arts and Science
We image and record what we observe
|
|
| |
In both Arts and Science
We discover and express essential qualities |
|
| |
In both Arts and Science
We search for pattern and order |
|
| |
In both Arts and Science
We ask: "What if...?" and then experiment
|
