Philosophers Afghan


Philosophers Afghan 015, originally uploaded by tanyalizbeth.

So I have this professor....no this is not a three guys in a bar joke....anyway, this professor always requires an arts based element with any research paper. This particular class, with this particular professor, was Philosophy of Education. The final paper was to write your philosophy of education and cite the philosophers that influenced you, oh yeah, and do something arty that ties in. So, I came up with the idea of this afghan. Each block represents one of the philosophers that influenced my personal philosophy. Pretty cool huh? It seemed a lot cooler before I put umpteen hours into it right when I had final papers in both classes due. It got done though and I think it's pretty cool. My eldest daughter was trying to lay claim before it was even pieced all the way together.
