21st Century Froebel

Welcome to the 21st Century Froebel blog!
I welcome your responses to these thoughts on art, math, learning, and Froebel.

but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.

I love working with 100% of an element. With the cubes and tablets, using 100% is original to Froebel. It is a design constraint that feels so calming to me. Over time, I've come to see a correlation between Froebel's rule of using all the available parts and the modern Montessori emotional-education tag-line, "including everyone in the community".

This is 100% of the 1" black sticks - just enough to fit in the palm of the hand.

Logical and mathematical thinking developed slowly in the human race. The Conservation Test is an assessment which demonstrates some of the steps children take in moving from perceptual judgement of quantity to mathematical thinking.

As per Edubirdie's comment, using other's art as a scaffold for one's own can be hurtful to the other artist. I've taken down the example I'd had posted here, because I didn't have the permission of the (living) artist to form a new piece.

I heard of a really traumatic experience from another artist regarding this one. They were made to pour out their hearts in making an artwork, only to be covered in dirt by another more prominent artist. It's actually his unique style. People are paying huge amounts of money just to get hold of this. Little did they know that the real value behind all these were the ones covered by his self righteousness. It's a way of building on other's art. Why are we buying this.
