#cutupbooks

Les Bateaux Nathalie Parain La mer est calme, les bateaux rentrent au port. Taken from Je Decoupe, her 1931 Album du Pere Castor, a landmark children’s book, exploring constructivist principles for children, based on the emerging new European educational ideas from Piaget, Montessori, Steiner in which children were encouraged to become active learners. These were books to be taken apart, cut up & enjoyed. Understandably few survived. #jedecoupe #cutupbooks #constructivism #modernist #modernism #piaget #childcentred #nathalieparain #boats #yachts #perecastor
