No to a so-called “surface learning” in early childhood education. It comes in the shape of, for example worksheets, and pressure to push academics down into preschool. It’s easy to grade it. However, it absolutely isn’t learning, rather performance. It doesn’t contribute to critical thinking, solving problems, and developing brain of a child. Boys and girls ought to play. E.g. when a boy builds a complex block tower, he isn’t only playing. No, he’s actually testing physics, building resilience, and developing social-emotional skills.

The Baroque was the artistical style which formed in Rome (Italy) in the early 17th century, and then spread all over Europe. At first it denoted everything what was bent, overloaded and unusual. As in Italy as elsewhere in Europe, the expressions of art were quite different, though. But, their common characteristics would be: luxury, dynamics, dramatic contrast between light and shade, and stressed sentimental load.

Flemish painter Joannes Almenak represented joyful card-players so. A good three hundred years later they would look like that.
