Overview
"Visualizing Research guides postgraduate students in art and design through the development and implementation of a research project, using the metaphor of a 'journey of exploration'. For use with a formal programme of study, from masters to doctoral level, the book derives from the creative relationship between research, practice and teaching in art and design. It extends generic research processes into practice-based approaches more relevant to artists and designers, introducing wherever possible visual, interactive and collaborative methods." Visualizing Research draws on the experience of researchers in different contexts and includes case studies of real projects. Although written primarily for postgraduate students, research supervisors, managers and academic staff in art and design and related areas, such as architecture and media studies, will find this a valuable research reference.Synopsis
Gray and Malins (both design, Robert Gordon U., Scotland) guide graduate students in art and design through the research process, describing and evaluating appropriate strategies, and suggesting how to embed research experience into contemporary practice. They walk readers through planning the journey, mapping the terrain, locating their position, crossing the terrain, interpreting the map, and recounting the journey. The glossary includes references for further study of each term or concept. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
