Description
This title aims to distil the research question and findings from a paper entitled Science, Nature and Identity: Understanding the Value of Experiential Learning in a Land Art Context submitted as an MA dissertation. The research sought to identify what educational outcomes emerge through the use of experiential learning in a Land Art context.The primary research material was drawn from two years of a Stour Valley Arts project called Down Time, funded through a national initiative Chances 4 Change broadly focused on wellbeing. The four participant groups came from a wide range of settings, allowing the research to look for common themes that might define the value of this approach and its possibilities for learning.Theory (including neuroscience and environmental psychology) and practice were examined including relevant examples from Galleries, Creative Partnerships and Forest Schools. The context of Stour Valley Arts is a 1500 acre forest which sites commissioned works of contemporary art and includes a strong environmental component.
