Art from the Universe Story: New Meaning for the Child.

Fowler, John

NAMTA Journal, v24 n3 p123-38 Sum 1999

Discusses the connections between Montessori pedagogy and Brian Swimme's ideas of a human authorship of a connection with the evolution of the universe and a need to reestablish a connection with the natural world. Describes the ways the art of 11- and 12-year-old students demonstrates an awareness of these issues and a connection with the natural world. (JPB)
