At my recent Waldorf Science Curriculum Presentation at the Trillium Waldorf school<\/a> in Guelph, I invited the participants to use a Phenomenological, Goethean Scientific process to explore the content and complex relationships and ultimately message of this wonderful painting by Joseph Wright. That’s right, we used a scientific process to find out way to a deeper understanding of a work of art. An engaging 45 minute discussion ensued in which we progressively worked our way from what we saw in the painting (objective – earth mode), the relationships and movement we observed (water mode), what each of the characters are expressing (air mode) and lastly the essence, meaning or message of this work of art (fire mode). Two days later I received these poetic insights from one of the participants, a biodynamic farmer no less:<\/span><\/p>\n

On my way home from the Trillium evening, the following word\/play came my way… The bumper sticker for the bird in the jar painting we looked at might be something along these lines: “A vacuum abhors nature too…”<\/span><\/p>\n

As a rhyming couplet, may be:
\n“Which one does, the other, more…
\nNature or a Vacuum…abhor?” <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How delicious it is when art and science play together so harmoniously. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Mark<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n
