Описание: Creating a comfortable home is more about what works for the people living in the houses than strict adherence to a particular school of design or the dictum of the paid professional. Undecorate celebrates the distinctly American quality of ingenuity, creativity, and resourcefulness in home design and shows readers how they can infuse a sense of personality into the decor of their own home. Undecorate features 20 homes that are entirely distinctive from one another, revealing how good design can be present in a melange of styles and tastes. Christiane shows homes from across the country--an apartment in Brooklyn, a bungalow in Nashville, a family home in Berkeley--that all exude personality and whimsy. Full of beautiful color photography and innovative ideas for developing your own decor dreams, Undecorate is the new style guide for every would-be home decorator.

Описание:

Mapping Holistic Learning: An Introductory Guide to Aesthetigrams introduces the concept of aesthetigrams. These are participant-produced visual maps of aesthetic engagement. The map-making strategy was originally developed by one of the authors, Boyd White, to assist him in understanding what his university-level students were experiencing as they interacted with artworks. Such interactions are, after all, private, individualistic, and fleeting. How can a teacher foster student/teacher dialogue that might lead to enhanced engagement, much less do research, without a concrete record of such engagement? Aesthetigrams provide that record.

Recently, the strategy has been adapted to other fields of study—the teaching of literature, and philosophy for children, as well as the writing of poetry. Boyd White and Am?lie Lemieux are persuaded that the strategy could be expanded into other disciplines. For example, might it not be useful for a teacher to know what a student is feeling and thinking as she struggles with a mathematical concept?

Mapping Holistic Learning is divided into three sections. Chapter 1 addresses the theoretical framework that underpins the authors’ research. The second section, Chapters 2 to 5, provides examples of aesthetigram usage within the formal education environment, in art and literature classrooms. The third section, Chapters 6 and 7, introduces two recent experiments in informal settings—one in an adult poetry workshop, the other in a philosophy-for-children workshop. It is not necessary to follow the book in chronological order. Readers are invited to attend to the chapters that most closely address their individual interests.
