Aesthetic Ways Of Knowing A Personal Narrative Master of Arts 2001 Vicki Kelly Department of Curriculum. Teaching and Leaming Ontario lnstitute for Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract: This thesis examines the sense modalities and how the human being lives in these modalities in order to learn about the world. It further considers how the life of sou1 incorporates: thinking, feeling, and willing or doing, in order to create or establish the knowing of the world that leads to meaning making and understanding. It examines sensory literacy in a broad context and its role in aesthetic ways of knowing, including examples from the role of play in human development to aesthetic ways of knowing as developed in the arts. The author examines how literacy in the sensory rnodalities leads to the development of the various language forms or syntaxes in the arts, and concludes with a personal narrative account, which serves as an example of how aesthetic ways of knowing were cultivated and developed through personal experiences in the arts of sculpture. eurythmy, drawing and music.

Introduction In The Beginning What began as a mere track or spoor, when followed, became a path I set down on my joumey of understanding. I have endeavoured to articulate the process by laying each step like a cobblestone set down with intention to join the others along the way. In the beginning I only sensed the binding and magicafly bridging nature of the ads between experience and cognition. The following is an attempt at travelling over, or traversing it so that upon reflection and in the telling of the story I discover another fundamental pnnciple to join the other cobblestones I have already collected and placed in the process. It is most definitely a work in progress and should be read as such. Each us gathers experiences, shaping and reshaping our thoughts of the world and ourselves to create an ever-expanding imagination of Our lives and this world in which we find ourselves. We carry unanswered, often unspoken, questions like riddles turning them over eternally deep with us. Then events that were brooding like a storm are resolved and in the cfearing after a thunderstom, we witness the rays of the Sun piercing through the clouds to illumine the entire landscape with sparkling clarity. Our vision is refreshed, and we are quickened with new energy and direction. In order to situate my personal hemeneutic, I must spend some time addressing the issues that were brooding within me and led to this inquiry and the ensuing narrative. I had being working in education and in art therapy for a number of years. A simple outline of my background may help the reader to locate the perspective from which I speak in the following chapters. Beginning with my most recent history, I worked for eight years as a eurythmy teacher and as a member of a special education team as a therapeutic eurythmist at the Toronto Waldorf School. Prior to that I had a private practice as a therapeutic eurythmist along with doctors, nurses, massage therapists, art therapists, speech therapist, and music therapists in a private chic in Bem, Switzerland. 1 have worked in hospitals specializing in a more holistic approach to general medicine and in psychiatry in Gerrnany and Switzerland. I completed my two-year therapeutic eurythmy training after I had trained as an eurythmist and worked for eight years in the Camphill Schools, Training Centres, and Villages for individuals with physical and mental challenges in Britain and Norway. As a member of the Ringwood-Botton Euqdhmy Performing Group, I toured extensively in Great Britain and Europe for five years. I have rny diplornas in each of the following: the performing art of eurythmy, pedagogical eurythmy and therapeutic eurythmy. I studied sculpture for one-year at Emerson College in England after receiving my B.A. in Literature from Dalhousie University. My early life and education began in Northwestern Ontario, where I was born and raised. For those who have not encountered eurythmy, let me include a brief description. Eurythrny is an art form of movernent that combines aspects similar to drama and dance with the skill and agility of physical education. The art of eurythmy reveals the creative movements out of which language and music are born. The speech eurythmy gestures and movements are not arbitrary: just as only certain rnovernents of the larynx produce certain sounds in the air, so too only certain movements in eurythrny can rnake the sounds visible. The eurythmist follows these laws of gesture but is absolutely free in how he or she does so. In a similar way, tone eurythrny reveals the music itself rather than a subjective reaction to it. Apart from artistic work on the stage there are two further branches of eurythmy: therapeutic eurythrny. which developed as a therapy in its own rightin Europe. complementing physiotherapy in hospitals, and educational or pedagogical eurythmy. Eurythrny cornes into being when man leams to use the noblest part of al1 artistic media, the human organisrn itself-this microcosm-as an instrument. ...If the human being reveals through eurythrny gestures that which his being inherently possesses as a language which enables the entire experience of the sou1 to rnanifest through the instrument of the physical body, then he should be able to artistically express the mysteries of the world. Rudolf Steiner In my work with grades two through eight, I had the joy of watching children working with enthusiasm on mastering their own instrument, their bodies, and marveled at their ability to create choreography and express their response to pieces of music at a very early age. Movernent was obviously their element, so leaming through it and transfemng what they heard into fom and gesture took place generally like playing, with an unselfconscious ease. I knew personally that one could understand through movement on a very deep level; one simply knew very profound things. Often I would watch children internalize sorne aspect; for example, the courage to let a copper rod free-fall behind their backs and to grow in the process of accomplishrnent. They were radiant and seemed to walk away taler. They were touchingly accurate at creating an image to express what they heard or to give colours, gestures.

  • Jahresbericht 2016
    Forschungsinstitut am Goetheanum Naturwissenschaftliche Sektion Sektion für Landwirtschaft Jahresbericht 2016 Goetheanum Jahresbericht 2016 Forschungsinstitut am Goetheanum Editorial Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser! Herzlich willkommen zu unserem Jahresbericht 2016! Wir freuen uns, Ihnen einen Ein- druck geben zu können von den verschiedenen Tätigkeiten und Projekten an unserem Institut. Die anthroposophisch und goetheanistisch orientierte naturwissenschaftliche Grund- lagenforschung bildet den Rahmen, in welchem wir oft exemplarisch an den verschie- denen Projekten arbeiten. Bedenkt man, was die Konsequenzen eines reduktionisti- schen Weltbildes sind, dann kann einem die Bedeutung eines solchen Ansatzes neu bewusst werden: Der Verlust aller Menschlichkeit und Moralität ist heute in vielen Ge- genden der Erde Realität, und man kann bemerken, dass auch in den zivilisatorisch entwickelten Gesellschaften nur gewissermassen eine dünne Schicht an der Oberfläche die gesellschaftliche Ordnung bewahrt. Hört oder sieht man Berichte z.B. aus Afrika, dann wird es auch vielen von Ihnen, liebe Leser, so gehen, dass man den Drang in sich vernimmt, direkt helfen zu wollen, statt seiner mehr oder weniger «normalen» Beschäftigung nachzugehen. Dann mag es gut sein, sich an den Impuls und die Bedeutung der goetheanistischen, ganzheitlichen und erscheinungsorientierten Wissenschaft zu erinnern. Der Physiker und Waldorfleh- rer Stephen Edelglass hat es einmal so formuliert: «If we constantly think about a world, where human beings don’t exist, we should not be surprised to find ourselves creating a world, where they can’t exist». Der Bericht ist wieder wie folgt gegliedert: Es gibt einen ersten Abschnitt, in wel- chem von aktuellen Forschungsprojekten berichtet wird. In einem zweiten Teil berich- ten wir von unseren Veranstaltungen im Bereich der Lehre und Ausbildung, der dritte Abschnitt handelt von der Ausrichtung des Instituts und den beteiligten Kollegen.

Rebecca Solnit, The Field Guide to Getting Lost (2003, p. 5) Keeping in touch t is with great sadness that we include the information Iabout recent developments in Ballytobin (see p. 4) We would like to publish articles in the next issue which celebrate this amazing community and would like to ask anyone who has had experiences of Ballytobin to write them down and send them to [email protected] by the end of July if possible. Photographs are also welcome. Luckily there is encouraging news to read in this issue, with thriving ventures in Russia, Colorado and London. It is always good to have news from other centres, but several newsletters have been sent to Camphill Corre- spondence which have been too long to include. If you would be able to send a shorter account, or a selection of one or two pages from your newsletter and send it as an attachment rather than as part of the e mail, we are very happy to include it.
