Arts-based Learning This approach has been called “Arts-based inquiry” – a term adopted from research literature by Louise Younie Definition: “student practical engagement with any art form – poetry, photography, painting, narrative, sculpture, dance, music etc. - as they reflect on their experiences” (Younie 2013, p.25) Art forms can stimulate “inquiry” in the sense of seeking to understand in a new and deeper way
Power of Creative Methods Arts-based methods use symbolic objects = multi-sensory, multi-faceted forms of expression, which can: • generate rich insights by unlocking unconscious ideas, feelings or memories • employ the power of metaphorical thinking at both theoretic (reasoning) and poetic (imagination) levels • foster student reflection, self-knowledge, creative thinking and metacognition (awareness of one’s thinking and learning processes) • enable “transformative learning” approaches concerned with whole person development
Student produced image – walking in a rain of flowers - perhaps of a metaphor of her experience of HE study?
