Trimis and Savva Reading

After doing the reading, I definitely made some connections between the term chorotopos (space-place, area, landscape, region, village or town) and our studio explorations project and the Hansen reading we did. I'm wondering if anyone else kind of made these connections as they were reading. In the study, children attending school in three different areas explore their surrounding environment and create art in this learning process in order to further understand their surroundings and make connections to the their socio-cultural background. I thought that this study was interesting because they had a variety of environments to expose the children to, the village, the beach and the forest, etc. However, it seems like it would be a little bit harder to implement the idea in an area where children were limited to learning in a classroom situation.
