Art provides answers to urgent questions because it enables humans to disappear into 'possible worlds', where eveything can happen and where we encounter fictional characters that can tell and teach us something. Art-Based Learning (ABL) is a method of art observation where the spectator engages in a dialogue with the artwork and gradually disappears into it. A personal, meaningful relationship develops between the spectator and the artwork.
In this workshop, Jeroen Lutters and Fabiola Camuti argue that an art-based-learning inspires to think creatively and encourages the spectator to tell a personal story. They also show how ABL is used as a practical method in museums and educational institutions, as well as healthcare facilities and coaching practices.
