[xmca] vygotsky and constuctivism

[Shirley Franklin <s.franklin@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hi ,

I am rather embarrassed by my ignorance and hope someone might be  
able to help me.

Yesterday I went to a wonderful art exhibition of Popova and  
Rodchenko - called Defining Constructivism  (at Tate Modern).

As  you may well know,  they were working during the period of after  
the 1917 Russian Revolution. One of the descriptions/explanations of  
their work said that they rejected Kandinsky's linkage of  
constructivism to psychology, because, I think, they wanted to get  
away from objectivism.

So I would like to know whether the constructivist perspective in  
some of  Vygotsky's work was infuenced by the constructivist movement  
of the time, and whether he knew these artists?

It would be great if someone could enlighten me!

best

Shirley
