352 Appendices 6. EXPLICATION OF ARTISTIC IMAGINATION For each chapter of this dissertation, a work of art has been created. Inspired by the text of the chapter, these works were made by Martijn Boer, my colleague at DCU’s Teacher Training Institute in Gouda, and by Thomas van Olst, the art teacher at Guido de Bres Secondary School in Rotterdam—and the son of a very proud father. With regard to each work of art, a brief explication: Introduction – Teaching and the Art of Living Together The image of the diverse, ever-changing society as a diverse and living city. The city is overwhelming, but also looks inviting. It invites the teacher to step into openness.

It approaches both the individual person and society from the perspective of separation, depicting society as an archipelago of different islands.

In that development the interpersonal and the intrapersonal are being aligned. The person learns from the environment, with a simultaneous focus on head and heart.

A strong tree emerges in the negative space, speaking of growth, but also constancy. Thomas van Olst, 2024, 60x42cm, acrylic paint on paper
