Estonian traditional musical instruments Musical instruments and music making are inseparable from cultural tradition. A musical instrument developed musical capacities of children as a sonic toy. It served hunters and herdsmen as a vital tool, that affected the catch or wellbeing of the village herd. It was often used to signal information. Making music provides a human being feelings of relaxation and aesthetic enjoyment. Musical instruments have accompanied important ritual practices but provided also music for dance. Estonian ethnomusicologist Herbert Tampere (19091975) categorised musical instruments according to their function into two main groups: 1) traditional instruments instruments created by the folk, and instruments of professional origin that people use traditionally while developing them spontaneously (e.g. kannel, bagpipe, mouth harp); 2) popular instruments instruments of professional music that have enter...
Art and Aesthetics in Early Childhood Education TÕLGE Irving B. Weiner . Handbook of Psychology, Educational Psychology. 2003 lk 288-290 The very concept of artistic development and some long-standing models developed to describe it (e.g., Gaitskell, Hurwitz, & Day, 1982; Lowenfeld & Brittaind, 1964; Luquet, 1977) have in fact become a subject of criticism in recent years. Four particular issues have been identified in this collective body of criticism. First, questions have been raised about the appropriateness of unilinear conceptions of development in explaining a wide range of pictorial imagery produced by children. adolescents, and adults. Second, a disparity has been noted between the breadth of the world of art and the narrowness of the focus on visual realism that has served as the endpoint in these developmental models. Third, cultural biases that mark these models have been identified theoretically and empirically. Fourth, i...

AKADEEMIA 10. AASTAKÄIK 1998 NUMBER 8 Akadeemia nr 8, 1998, lk 1653-1671 MIS ON KUNST? Institutsionaalse esteetika kimbatus Margit Sutrop Analüütilised filosoofid hakkasid kunstiküsimustes aktiivselt sõna võtma 20. sajandi keskpaigas. Kohe algusest peale vastandati end nn traditsioonilisele esteetikale, mille all mõeldi kõiki teooriaid, mis tegelesid küsimustega: Mis on kunst? Mis on ilu? Mis on esteetiline elamus? Milline on kriitika funktsioon? Mis on esteetilise- ja maitseotsustuse kriteeriumiks? Kõigi nende küsimuste taga oletas analüütiline kunstifilosoofia püüet leida selline definitsioon, mis annaks adekvaatselt edasi kunsti ja ilu olemust. Just see pidavat aga olema "traditsioonilise esteetika" saatuslik eksitus, et usutakse kunsti sügavamasse olemusse, sellesse, et hoolimata erinevustest on kunstiteostel siiski mingid iseloomulikud omadused, differentia specified, mis eristavad neid kõigest muust. Et see lootusetu on, nä...

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...
Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators. Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to addr...
