Art practice as research

"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. The text explores themes, practices, and contexts of artistic inquiry, positioning them within the discourse of research." "Art Practice as Research is perfectly suited as a text for courses in art education, the visual arts, research methods in art education, as well as general research methods courses in education and the humanities. This will also be an invaluable reference for anyone with an interest in interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and the role of imaginative inquiry in human understanding."--Jacket.
