DESMA 114
Arts Research and Practice
Description
Studio, six hours. Requisites: courses 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, and 101 or 104. Arts research is an approach to inquiry-a methodology that relies on artistic means to interrogate, reflect upon, and understand ideas, situations, relationships, experiences, and structures. Like traditional research, arts-based inquiry seeks to raise awareness, broaden insight and understanding, and produce knowledge. Unlike traditional research, the value of arts-based research lies in its ability to evoke experience, celebrate nuance, validate feeling, and promote reflexivity. Study engages theory and practice within broader context of contemporary art, digital culture, and technology. Review of methods for exploring art as a tool for inquiry, data collection, knowledge production, and analysis. Emphasis on collaborative research strategies to deepen understandings of art as epistemology. Letter grading.
