Pondering a Peruvian Mystery, Part 2: The Artist’s Way of Knowing

Abstract

Inspired by the history and culture of Peru, Dr Carol Gordon has been engaging with the way of knowing involved in the particular attitude or approach taken by a specific area of teaching and learning. In part one of these discussions, in the previous edition of Synergy, Carol’s focus was the historian. In this, part two, her mind turns to the artist’s way of knowing and engages specifically with the approach of aesthetic inquiry through an analysis of what literature offers and how we might use it in the classroom and the library.
