Constructivism
* In education, Constructivism is an educational methodology which
asserts that children should be taught in a way that allows them to
construct their own understandings about a subject. The purpose of the
teacher is not to cover material but to help the child "uncover" the
facts and ideas in a subject area.
* In art and architecture, Constructivism was an artistic movement in
Russia from 1914 onward in favour of "pure" art with no social function
which used designs influenced by, and materials used in, industry. It
was founded by Vladimir Tatlin, with later prominent constructivists
including Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo. Kasimir Malevich also made
pieces that could be called constructivist, though he is better known
for his earlier suprematism. The movement was an important influence on
new graphic design techniques championed by El Lissitzky.
