Exhibition: The Art of Outdoor Learning

This exhibition is the culmination of James Aldridge’s year-long residency at MK Gallery and presents the journey of the Green Town Group an exiting progamme of artist-led activity which tested out new approaches to outdoor learning in relation to contemporary arts practice.

The Art of Outdoor Learning places the learning of the children and families involved in Green Town Group, within the wider context of James’ place-based practice, which explores his and others’ physical and perceptual relationship to natural and cultural heritage, and the national picture of primary art education and outdoor learning.

James works across the UK, developing and facilitating socially engaged arts projects with a range of partners, using making as a tool for exploring the relationship between oneself and one’s natural and cultural environment.
