Description
Summary:This article explores the role of the arts in whole and healthy development for Aboriginal people. It presents a concept, "the sense of art," as an important aspect of our experience, a sense that can help us to survive and thrive. It proposes that our sense of art is experienced and expressed in “qualities" in our daily life, as well as in our art forms, which give us a feeling of coherence and beauty.
