Constructivism - Wikipedia

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[?].
