Early Childhood - Sandpaper Letters

Sandpaper letters are a fundamental tool in our classrooms, offering tactile and visual experiences that enhance early literacy skills. When students trace the textured letters with their fingers, they engage their sense of touch, which helps reinforce the shape and form of each letter. This multisensory approach supports memory retention and fine motor skills development. Additionally, drawing the letters in the Sand Tray aids in the development of reading, writing, and learning to copy, further solidifying their understanding of letter formation and phonetics.

Interior design for the senses

“Our understanding and day-by-day interaction with our surroundings is not only experienced by sight; it combines all our senses to create a vivid image of our living and working spaces even after we have left them. Therefore, to improve our experience in such places, we must also turn towards designing with sensitivity to sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell…” Read more

“Her house is a place where I am learning to look at things, where I am learning how to belong in space. In rooms full of objects, crowded with things, I am learning to recognize myself. She hands me a mirror, showing me how to look. The color of wine she has made in my cup, the beauty of the everyday. Surrounded by fields of tobacco, the leaves braided like hair, dried and hung, circles and circles of smoke fill the air. We string red peppers fiery hot, with thread that will not be seen. They will hang in front of a lace curtain to catch the sun. Look, she tells me, what the light does to color!”

—bell hooks, describing her grandmother’s house, as quoted by Elleza Kelley in her review of Christina Sharpe’s Ordinary Notes

Perfumery has a lot to do with this process of courting the edges of unrecognizability, of evoking sensations that don't have names, or of mixing up sensations that don't belong together.

This student has been very precise with his work! The Parts of the Arthropod material uses visual cards that pair drawings with descriptions, allowing students to enhance their understanding of arthropod anatomy through both visual and textual learning.

Futurist Cooking

Futurist cooking was directed at combining gastronomy and art, as well as the transformation of dining into a performance art. Futurism recognized that people "think, dream and act according to what they eat and drink". Futurist food is also considered a means to address political and social issues. Marinetti's Manifesto has been described as a satirical polemic more than a cooking manual and was published in response to the Italian economic needs during the Depression.

In futurist cooking, the knife and fork are also abolished, while perfumes are added to enhance the taste experience.

The Manifesto of Futurist Cooking also proposed that the way in which meals were served be fundamentally changed. For example: - Some food on the table would not be eaten, but only experienced by the eyes and nose - Food would arrive rapidly and contain many flavors, but only a few mouthfuls in size - All political discussion and speeches would be forbidden - Music and poetry would be forbidden except during certain intervals

Futurist cooking emphasized presentation and multisensory impression, revelling in transgression and shock value. As the historian Carol Helstosky demonstrates, "food sculptures and seemingly odd food pairings (meat and cologne or mussels and vanilla creme) heightened the tactile and sensory experience of the meal."
