Abstract

Arts-based inquiry is one option for providing space for knowledge creation. Art is a medium that lends itself to investigation and ambivalence. While engaged with one’s individual creative project, the presence of others makes it a communal activity. The ‘art-school format’ offers a place to gain some insight and to communicate with others. Each person is engrossed in their own project (using photography, sketching, theater, or poetry), and at the same time very much aware of what others are doing. The role of the teacher is to offer occasional advice and feedback. A term paper with its typical structure—focus, current research, methodology, data analysis, conclusions, and bibliography—can be a means of academic reflection on the artistic experience.
