A few years ago I used to work with kids doing workshops in Tokyo. Some friends, Mejunje from Argentina, will be coming to Japan soon to run kids workshops this April, Hiromi Yoshii Gallery in Tokyo is also beginning kid friendly art programs and I just (very behind the times) ran across the Tezuka’s Fuji Kindergarten (see HERE for a good article). All of a sudden i have come in contact with many people who are thinking about ways to engage children. Historically Europeans seem to have been the most articulate and imaginative at engaging children; Bruno Munari has to be credited as the king of child workshops, with Reggio De Emilia and Montessori coming in second and third. American’s educators don’t really seem to have the same authority. But that might change. Video’s above from ‘Songs of Higher Learning’.
