Art Based Practice As Creative Inquiry: Innovation in Research and Education 1 ART BASED PRACTICE AS CREATIVE INQUIRY: INNOVATION IN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION Ngene Eze, Ph.D Dept of Fine and Applied Arts, Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri, Imo State. Abstract The paper takes critical look at art practice based research which is used in art disciplines in the universities and by professional artists. The paper explains that although modern philosophy is the interpreter of research and organisation of research findings in natural and social sciences, the significance of art practice based research cannot be ignored in the processes of some research. The paper states that art based practice research methodology is a positive shift from the use of scientific methods. It uses multiple methodologies to link between processes and standard academic research represent ation. The paper further explains that art based practice methodology when used in research creates knowledge that is new and shared among recipients as visual knowing. The paper discusses that the processes of art practice based research have generated new things, and products that their knowledge is not just novel to the artist researcher but the recipient. The methodology also lends credence to the development of reflective thinking capacity. The paper states that when art based practice research is used in conducting research it becomes an inquiry. It involves scholarly presentation that gives insights to emotional and intellectual understanding. The paper concludes that art based practice research finding provides information which helps the recipient in the understanding of the world in a new and different perspective through visual art knowledge. One might say that where research findings presented in a concise statistical in the contemporary world is associated format. with scientific investigations which lead to The art is subjective, it creates the discovering of facts for a better meanings rather than discover facts. It has understanding of an issue and problem become an innovation that is integrated solving, art activities engaged in different into ways of conducting research which ways are being recognised as processes of involves human experience.

The this sense, the products of this research are scientific method is in variance with the closer in function to deep conversation processes which the art uses to conduct and insightful dialogue than they are to research. The reason is because the error-free conclusions”. Since the art is scientific methods of conducting research subjective and openly gives out its work emphasises in the literal sense that as a novel invention, reality and symbol to research should be predesigned and its the sense of the viewer the issue of bias is Journal of Teacher Perspective, Volume 11 No. 2, December, 2016, ISSN: 2006 - 0173 2 Art Based Practice As Creative Inquiry: Innovation In Research And Education -Ngene Eze, Ph.D not ruled out in its processes. The sciences and behavioural sciences to plausibility and recognition of bias in art generate knowledge that solve problems in research has often made those in science the society rather than depend on the disciplines to regard art based research as universal scientific methodology to create being incapable of creating new knowledge.

Debates about the impact of Leavy (2009) states that traditional foundational knowledge by science on methods which are grounded in scientific ways to carry research without bias are method suit some, traditional qualitative viewed as having short comings. Sullivan research methods create a working space (2010) states that when science became for others, but that there are others that the manifesto of the Church of reason. It these research conventions make in which introduced a period that logical reasoning what was once a passion starts to feel became institutionalised as the way to gain more like it is a job.

Created in alumna who lives and works in Paris, France. 2010 on behalf of Latour and collaborator Valerie Pihet at SciencesPo Paris, this highly selective multidisciplinary program accepts a circle of about fifteen participants (mostly thirtysomething professionals from the social sciences, the arts, and the political milieu) each year out of approximately eighty applications pooled internationally, of which nearly half are French. SPEAP is a little bit of everything—a one-year master’s program, a postdoctoral research hub, an école, a residency workshop, a therapy group, and a think tank. I even once heard Pihet call it an école de parole (talk school), inadvertently nodding to SPEAP’s hosting epicenter and namesake—SciencesPo, an elite social science and higher education training ground for politicians and public figures in Paris.

The basic approach is determined by the method of A. A. Davydov, a prominent Russian art critic. The work is based on the principles of objective analysis, historicism, interconnectedness, and continuity of development. The theoretical background and the development of the scientific method of art critic are considered. The authors review a special attitude of the scientist to the problem of the scientific nature of art history disciplines, a demanding attitude to art history categories, and an appeal to interdisciplinarity. The authors argue that the normative and recommendatory nature of the scientist’s research method played a decisive role in the formation of modern ideas in the methodology of stylistic analysis of art monuments. Since the article presents a methodological interpretation of the art history method, the novelty of the study is primarily associated with the identification of new perspectives of analysis and possible methodological approaches in the pedagogy of art.

Meta-modernism is a term that has gained traction in recent years as a means of articulating developments in contemporary culture, that has seen a move beyond the postmodern mode of the late 20th century. In the wake of the myriad crises of the past two decades due to climate change, financial meltdown, and the escalation of global conflicts using tremendous technologies the world witnessed the emergence of a perceptible collective desire for change, towards something beyond the prematurely proclaimed “End of History.” This study is considered a part of the scientific attempts to identify and comprehend the philosophy of Meta-modernism and its most contemporary prominent features, elements and art methods, in the light of technological evolution, education ideologies too social and artistic interactions, from which the artist derives concepts, contents and functional objectives of the work of art in the modern era seeking visual communication and expressive methods with the rest of the world.

  • Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research
    Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research In an effort to challenge the ways in which colonial power relations and Eurocentric knowledges are reproduced in participatory research, this book explores whether and how it is possible to use arts-based methods for creating more horizontal and democratic research practices. In discussing both the transformative potential and limitations of arts-based methods, the book asks: What can arts-based methods contribute to decolonising participatory research and its processes and practices? The book takes part in ongoing debates related to the need to decolonise research, and investigates practical contributions of arts-based methods in the practice-led research domain. Further, it discusses the role of artistic research in depth, locating it in a decolonising context. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design, fine arts, service design, social sciences and development studies.

Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged. Signed: Dated: i Acknowledgements My supervisor Professor Stephen Muecke welcomed me into academic life and has supported me ever since. He introduced me to Speculative Realism and Object Oriented Ontology and slowed my usual cracking pace to a more considered and cautious speed. Each time I felt I had discovered something new about writing, I realised Stephen had led me there. I have often tried to emulate his mentoring method for my own students: without judgement, enthusiastic and twinkle-eyed. Through the second half of the thesis process, my co-supervisor Professor Edward Scheer jumped in and demanded evidence, structured argument and accountability. This was the perfect timing for a rigorous edit.

    FINAL REPORT Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research. Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research. Media. Art. Research. In the research program of the LBI Media.Art.Research., interdisci pli­ narity becomes part of everyday practice. Its research projects combine competencies from the fields of art history, cultural studies, media theory, media technology, and computer science. The structure of the institute thus corresponds to the complexity and diversity of its main theme: media art. Beyond this specialized field, the LBI positions itself at the intersection of the dialogue between the “two cultures” of the humanities and cultural studies, on the one hand, and the natural and technological sciences, on the other. The first part of the report presents the concept and the research pro­ gram of the Institute, as well as its events and publications. The indivi­ dual research projects are then introduced according to five topics, which constitute the basic elements of a methodology of media art research. LBI Media.Art.Research.

  • Abstract Opening Minds Through Art
    ABSTRACT OPENING MINDS THROUGH ART (OMA): AN ART PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA by Elizabeth Lokon Art programming for people with dementia in long-term care facilities tends to fall short when it comes to providing opportunities for creative self-expression. The Opening Minds through Art (OMA) program is designed to fill this unmet need. It is a program led by artist facilitators with the assistance of staff/volunteers. The program has four major goals: (1) to promote the social engagement, autonomy, and dignity of people with dementia by providing creative self-expression opportunities; (2) to show the public the creative self-expression capacities of people with dementia through exhibitions of their artwork; (3) to provide staff and volunteers with opportunities to build intimate relationships with people who have dementia; and (4) to provide volunteers with community service opportunities. This report presents the conceptual foundation and methodology of the OMA program. It includes an overview of person-centered care philosophy, the rationale for doing the OMA program, and research evidence on the use of the arts in dementia care.
