Art Practice as Research - Inquiry in the Visual Arts
Graeme Sullivan/Columbia University Teachers College, December 2004, USA
Art Practice as Research: Inquiry in the Visual Arts presents a compelling argument that the creative and cultural inquiry undertaken by artists is a form of research.
Author Graeme Sullivan explores themes, practices, and contexts of artistic inquiry and positions them within the discourse of research.
The book is divided into three content areas that provide a unique framework for carrying out inquiry in the visual arts:
Contexts for Visual Arts Research: a historical review that positions the visual arts as a culturally grounded and institutionally bound area of artistic and educational inquiry.
Theorising Visual Arts Practice: presents the thesis that visual arts practice is a theoretically robust area of inquiry and a transformative approach to creating and critiquing knowledge.
Visual Arts Research Practices: describes a range of strategies and approaches to planning and carrying out visual arts research.
The publication is well suited as a text for courses in art education, the visual arts, and general research methods courses in education and the humanities.
