Art & Learning to Think & Feel
Many of my ideas about teaching art were inspired in the classes of Dr. Phil Rueschhoff at the University of Kansas during my graduate work there. Rueshhoff studied with Viktor Lowenfeld, author of Creative and Mental Growth. Lowenfeld was often discussed. Rueschhoff's ideas are recorded in a text still available in libraries and in the used book market. We reviewed hundreds of studies of creativity and studies of the ways in which a variety of art education methods changed thinking, feeling, and expression.

To foster a love of art in children, we must teach it at primary school
It’s no secret that arts subjects are increasingly being deprioritised in many schools, and that there’s a fall in the number of pupils taking arts subjects at GCSE. Yet the arts matter, not only to individual learning but to the UK as a whole: the creative industries currently contribute £84.1bn a year to the economy. Enthusiasm for art should really start at primary school – by the time students reach year seven, attitudes about what matters in education will have already been established.

Ancient Craft - Stone Age art
Most people think of cave paintings, when ancient art is mentioned, however there is much more. At the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic era of prehistory (from 40,000 BCE onwards), fine art suddenly came to Europe. These early forms of early art were either portable sculptures (mobiliary art), often of small female "venus figurines", or pictures and symbols that are painted, drawn or carved on the walls and ceilings of caves (parietal art). Later on, art became more integrated into settlements and daily life.
