It is described how the concept of sound is presented through: a) the various scientific and non-scientific fields in which sound constitutes an object of study and research, b) the students’ personal formation of knowledge and c) the modes that can be represented in the material world. Such an approach allows us to define the structure elements used in the teaching of concepts and phenomena even before these become active teaching objects. This seems to be useful in lesson planning, in the training of pre-service and in- service science teachers, as well as in curricula design. Keywords: epistemic, cognitive, semiotic significations, sound 1. Introduction The theories and the methodologies adopted and constructed in the various fields of knowledge influence the signification of the concepts they deal with. It is acknowledged that the varied study of our world also constitutes the intent to make differential meanings. Physics and chemistry, as well as visual arts and philosophy, conceptualize the same entities ascribing different meanings to them.

  • GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) Was One of the Most Important Greek Artists and Representatives Of
    GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) was one of the most important Greek artists and representatives of the so called “Generation of 1930s” with diverse and internationally recognized work. The work of the artist, who was often called the “eternal teenager”, extends across the unusual vector of time of almost eight decades, and its rich range of subject matter is characterized by incessant renewal. Biography George Zongolopoulos was born on March 1st, 1903, in Deligiorgi Street in the center of Athens, while his place of origin was the village Manna or Markasi in Corinth (as Zongolopoulos narrated to his family the real year of his birth was 1901 and not 1903 as is appeared in all his official documents). He grew up in a family of lawyers that did not encourage him to deal professionally with art, although he showed a special inclination towards painting and drawing from childhood. He served his military service as a sergeant until 1923 and during that period he met his peer and later important Greek architect Patroklos Karantinos, who became one of his closest friends and colleagues. First years of apprenticeship o National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts (1924-1930) In 1924 he entered the Athens School of Fine Arts and studied sculpture under Academician Thomas Thomopoulos. In his student years he expressed with militancy his opinion on the need for modernization and reorganization of teaching, and also on the need to increase the School‟s budget. His attitude towards the academicism of the School and his participation in the “occupation” of the School by its students in 1929 meant for the young Zongolopoulos expulsion from the School for a year.
