Abstract

Reflection—Experimentation—Reflection
“Arts-based learning engagements are more ideally suited for habit-forming exercises, rituals of perception, acts of reflection, personal expression, and social agency which, if they are to be sensibly evaluated for their effectiveness, must be assessed over the long run to document how the life practices, thinking habits, and communities of the learner have been transformed.”
Creative group discussions and reflection were placed at the heart of Reflecting Oil’s five-year collaborative research processes. They were facilitated from the very out-set, in late 2019, to encourage exchange between artistic and scientific approaches to crude oil, setting the ground for the planning and execution of a series of oil experiments...
