| Summary: | This book presents an integrated approach to the education of children that teaches them how to see and describe their world, both the natural world around them and their own culture and identity, through linking the media of art and language, considered as parallel creative-expressive processes of arting (representation in visual images) and writing (representation in words). The work presents conceptual background and practical materials developed in a collaboration by two Hawai'i elementary teachers, one with a doctorate in Education from the University of Hawai'i (Anna Sumida) and one an Education Design Specialist (Miki Maeshiro), and a well-known Hawaiian artist and educator (Meleanna Meyer). This team of three authors, who evolved their curriculum ideas and instructional activities over several years teaching at the Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu and in community education programs throughout the state, merges interests and expertise in literacy and culture, art and science in a pedagogy that is culturally and ecologically responsive and that bridges across different areas of knowledge and skill. Their goal is one of transformative education based on the combined power and synergy of arting and writing processes. |
