The document discusses a workshop conducted by the author to teach children observational skills through engaging their senses. The goal was to enhance the children's ability to see details in nature by having them draw, feel, smell, and observe things like plant textures, light, patterns and colors. Through hands-on activities focusing on observation rather than naming or reasoning, the children used their senses to cognize the world in a way that retained their curiosity, presence and creativity. The author believes modern education over-emphasizes thinking and language at the expense of sensory engagement, diminishing true learning abilities.

Workshop on awakening the aesthetic sensesJinan KB
The document discusses awakening the senses through total engagement and play. It explores using play as a natural way of learning, with rhythm and music, and allowing children to simply be. It questions if school is too confined, codified, and focused on information over intuition. Playing is described as actual learning that uses innate abilities to create through imagination without bounds. A dialogue with nature and artistic meditation are presented as alternatives, with examples from Joseph's spiritual insights from yogic practices in the Himalayas and at Tiruannamalai.
Awakening the aesthetic sense, not ‘teaching rzJinan KB
1. The document discusses awakening natural aesthetic senses in children rather than teaching art. Workshops are held with activities like drawing, crafts, and engaging with nature to sensitively immerse the senses.
2. Modern schooling replaces natural cognitive processes with fragmented knowledge and removes cultural diversity and aesthetics. The workshops aim to reintegrate the senses and allow natural sense-making.
3. Engaging with the world through activities awakens children's senses and allows them to make sense of the world on their own, like a curious child, remaining open without forcing answers.
In traditional communities, children are often left free to explore nature, developing their senses. The children of Aruvacode village in India have highly attuned senses of hearing, smell, and sight from observing their natural surroundings. They can identify birds by sound and know which plants are edible through familiarity with the forest. Games the children play help enhance their sensory awareness and connection to the natural world.

Children in traditional communities are free to explore nature, developing their senses. They become familiar with the sounds of birds, which berries are edible, and the smells of flowers and leaves. Sight is the most powerful sense as children observe nature closely when hunting or catching animals. Many games children play help enhance their senses, and activities like making color scales with leaves and paints deepen children's understanding of colors found in nature.
The fundamental issues we raise through this event is the 'nature of learning, biologically embedded aesthetic sense in children, role of the 'teacher', do nothing method etc.
It looks like that we are already born with aesthetic sense. I think this is our connection to the world and the way we conduct our lives provided we leave that to the nature in all of us.
The work shop on sensing nature is for providing space to come together to listen, to see, to taste, to touch, feel, to make etc. There is no teaching.
This short document discusses two topics: old magazines and patterns in nature. It seems to be making a connection between finding patterns or inspiration by looking through old magazines as well as observing patterns that exist in the natural world around us. The document suggests there is value in exploring both old magazines and nature to discover interesting patterns.
