[ePub] Se all'inferno cantano gli uccelli (Italian Edition) by Horace "Jim" Greasley in Arts-Photography

Description

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. The Introduction and Chapter 1 Planning the Journey define the concept and value of practice-based formal research; tracking the debate around its development and explaining key concepts and terminology. rsquo;Mapping the Terrainrsquo; then describes methods of contextualizing research in art and design (the contextual review; using reference material); rsquo;Locating Your Positionrsquo; and rsquo;Crossing the Terrainrsquo; guide the reader through the stages of identifying an appropriate research question and methodological approach; writing the proposal and managing research information. Methods of evaluation and analysis are explored; and of strategies for reporting and communicating research findings are suggested. Appendices and a glossary are also included. 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. An accompanying website www.visualizingresearch.info includes multimedia and other resources that complement the book.
