2018 Foundations Talk | 1:02:30 | All Grade Levels, General Classroom
Summary
From classroom decor, to poetic infusion, to music and art appreciation, classical Christian education recognizes that students can have a higher aesthetic, if teachers model a love of beauty. This workshop will explore what beauty actually is, and how it relates to ordering the loves of our students. We will then look at practical ways in which our schools can be spaces of beauty wherein our students’ aesthetic sense flourishes.
