Abstract: Dr. David Whitley takes a sample of children's film literature and covers some of the opportunities that can occur from probing the concept of what happens when we learn through different contexts in a variety of different ways. What is it that we learn, not just in the institutional context, but also from the wider environment? What do we learn from Art?
