Abstract
research as art : art as research [website]
scaffolding trans-disciplinary, art-centered learning
Created and Maintained by Kimberley D'Adamo
Framing art as research presents a new vision of art practice; making art is understood to be less about producing aesthetic objects and images and more about exploring a topic or idea, responding intellectually and emotionally to it, and interpreting one’s impressions artistically. Art can be used as a lens for research in any discipline. Research-based art making has a methodology, where art classrooms are Research Studios.
Our "Research Studio" model mirrors elements of Reggio Emilia, Constructivism and Scientific Research in several important ways, and applies them to the high school art classroom. Our "Research Studio" model has 3 important components that intertwine:
Research Methodology • Pedagogy • Curriculum
This website holds the tools to help you understand and implement arts-based research in your classroom to create your own "Research Studio."
This art-as-research model positions the student and teacher as collaborators and researchers. It values the student as strong, capable and resilient. Experiential learning and inquiry are at the center, but supported with structures to help students succeed in independent research.It values interaction with peers as a valuable source for learning. It values documentation, metacognition and revisiting earlier learning to foster deeper understanding. Most importantly, this is not a method, but a model for creative arts-based research that can be adjusted and adapted to different teaching styles, subject areas and students.
