I was really excited when I came across this book, and I wasn't disappointed. This is a great contribution to the development of arts-based research as a legitimate means of knowledge generation. Well written and accessible, this book will be of value to anyone who is interested in this area.
Arts based methods is not yet introduced in the curriculum. The book will be considered for future project work, as an experiment.
A very useful textbook to support students who wish to engage in arts based research
This book is an important resource to inform methods which embrace the inclusion of self in the research. It provides a guide to support critical appraisal of such research designs. Supports the validity of more expressive research methods.
Very interesting book, issuing many different aspects concerning art based research. Helpfull to inspire students to do a more creative research project.
I hope to create a course focused on arts based research and if I can offer such a course, I will use this book. I found it most helpful. My current course will include some introduction to arts based research, but not enough to justify requiring the whole text. I plan to make the text available at library reserves and suggest students read certain chapters.
