space & enact lifelong
learning systematically
Emphasize process over
output; stimulate
learners to be self-
organized and self-
sufficient in their
learning

an ability to identify learning potential
in everyday and open environments
and to methodically enact a process
of learning through them.
Aesthetic literacy, broadened from its
specific artistic focus as a capacity for
“reading” or making meaning from
artistic (everyday) material
(discussed in Gale, 2005 as the
“living of lyrical moments”), is
positioned as a means of making
meaning in open environments, to
begin to enact lifelong learning in
these open spaces.

Aesthetic Literacy:
Learners align themselves to the
possibility of learning in an open
environment (a trust in their own
capacities for finding learning
material in their open, lived worlds),
and then attune themselves to
their specificities of their
environment for learning
(acknowledging that each location
is a constructed, specific set of
attributes- learning in a museum as
opposed to the subway as opposed
to an open field, etc.).

Discussion
What do you see?
What do you feel?
(What's the
difference?)

Discussion
What are we
connecting this to?
What is our frame
of reference?
![Page 11: Aesthetic Literacy Workshop: Helsinki, February 2015](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5ed2b1a28ab086b8b4650/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
a combination of both autobiography and ethnography in
that it is self-reflection and writing that explores the
experience of the researcher within a particular
environment in an attempt to connect that experience to
broader cultural, social, political or other meanings.
Subjectivity is assumed and reflected upon.
Objectivity is impossible. Rigor and transparency mitigate
this.

How would you report
this?
How would you
compose this?

difference?)

What can we connect it
to?
What are the learning
advantages in making
this connection?
What are the costs of
this connection?

What technologies do we
have?
What data can we
capture with each?
How does that kind of
data affect our overall
understanding of space?

Consider the power of each (audio,
video, imagery, text).
How can we tell the story of one
without the other?
What modes are you attracted to?

What

they writing?
What is our role in
their narrative?
