"How does nature teach?"
A child approaches a flower. Does he understand how its patterns are reflected in art and architecture around the world throughout history? Wonder is his tool for seeing and beholding. How shall we maintain our care and responsibility toward nature? Has nature taught us all that it can? In this video children's art is explored. Through it, adult audiences can see what we have assumed about our role in nature. We all must look at life as a child does. An attitude of wonder must be resurrected in us all. This feeling actually determines the future state of life on our planet. Art therapist Esther James asks children to draw their homes. Those drawings reflect a concept of "home" which is startling, in light of late 20th century societal problems faced by all of us. |
