I am trying to initiate discussions on three aspects. One is knowledge creation, the second is the role of the sense of beauty in cognition, and the third challenging the very notion of teaching. That is one who has actually created knowledge only would know the fallacy that teaching would result in learning. The fragmented approach to art is another myth of modernity. What is taught as fragments do not get synthesized automatically as our cognitive system is equipped to learn holistically. The way we learned our mother tongue - without neither knowing grammar nor knowing the meaning of each word we are able to speak fluently. Even though I did not do any teaching, the way I approached elements of design was to start with various elements one by one and then go into the principles also one after the other. By this approach, a proper synthesis doesn’t happen. This is the way we were taught the second language where we learned first the meaning of many words and the grammar but we did not know how to speak. Putting together these elements and rules later does not work. So, like in the way how we learn our mother tongue, we started with experiencing beauty, and then as we began to reflect on why something is beautiful we were able to see what are the constituents of beauty and how it all came together to constitute beauty. -- Jinan, TEXT DISTORTS, DIGITAL DESTROYS, WORLD AWAKENS http://kbjinan.in/ <http://jinankb.in/> http://ekfoundation.in/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC80rT8Zj1EE8TrzD3UreYfQ www.re-cognition.org https://independent.academia.edu/JinanKodapully 09447121544 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Alternatives Forum, Pune" group.
