With Art Based & Nature Based Learning, you create this space with the help of art or nature; through a methodical four-step process, you enter into a dialogue with a work of art or something from nature.This method addresses your investigative ability and your free, associative, non-linear thinking, which can shed a different and creative light on questions you have.It is not about coming up with an answer as quickly as possible, but rather that you enrich your thoughts so that you discover something you would not have come up with otherwise.
What is Art Based Learning?
Art Based Learning is a reflective methodology, a form of slow learning, where you learn from art, more than about art, to arrive at new insights.The method was developed by Dr. Jeroen Lutters, lecturer in Art Education as Critical Tactics (AeCT) at ArtEZ University of the Arts. He is the founder and creator of the ABL methodology. He takes art as a source of knowledge for existential questions. In essence, what you learn from it is not just to walk in a straight line in search of an answer or solution, but rather to take detours; to think out of the box. You also step into another person's world of experience. You do this with the help of art.
What is Nature Based Learning?
Nature Based Learning follows the same principles as Art Based Learning; the difference is that here you get inspired by an element from nature. You enrich your thoughts and take a detour to come up with inventive solutions.
