This paper titled “Research Procedure / Methodology for Artists & Designers” by Carole Gray and Julian Malins and they talk about the research procedures for artists & designers. This paper can be divided in four parts, which is introduction, characteristics of existing methodologies, postmodern methodology and appropriate existing and new procedure / methodologies and tools.
First of all, the authors first tell us the definition of method and methodology in the dictionary and the general context of methodologies. The research procedure should be radical, strict, comprehensible, apparent, alienable and careful; otherwise the results of the research are basically defective and inconsequent. Then the authors give us an example of ELIA (European League of Institutes of Arts) Research Network. By the way, though this example tells us research is by its essentiality, interdisciplinary, cooperative and international, and offers a good model some respects of European co-operation in postgraduate education. Next, the authors said that although the scientific subjects research methodologies have been mature exceed several centuries, the definition and junction of artistic research procedures will not be finished easily and rapidly. The long-term property of research means that the progress of methodology is a growing process: only after iterated and successful uses will a procedure be recognized and become adopted as a standard technique. Besides, the shortage of proper procedures has compulsive researchers in Art & Design to use those, which have been fixed in Science and Social Science. The researchers of Art & Design fall into two decoys, which is forced to adjust or loan a standard methodology that may contort the research and have to...

List seven principles research procedure that have been applicable to Art and Design research programmes. The first four could be named classic research methodologies and receiving in the broader context of research. The last three are less repercussive of the scientific method and more supplementary to the artistic method. Talking about the application of compact disk (CD), which is able of storing text, moving and still images and sound.
Point out that question and debate the nature of research is one of the most challenging and urgent issues for researchers in Art and Design. For purpose of to schedule an artist method, a series of methodological ways are no less strict and honorable than those of the scientific method.
A good example would be the scientific method which is used daily by scientists around the world. The scientific method starts out with asking a question about what they observed, like who, what, where, when, and why [4]. Next comes background research, examples of such would be researching the different components that were used and trying to predict their purpose [4]. Scientists then construct a hypothesis and construct a theory on what they think will happen during an experiment [4]. They then start their experiment. They perform a control or default test, and then change a few variables for each of the other tests[4]. They then analyse their results by watching video footage or measuring the lengths of some objects compared to other objects [4]. They then finally share their results with the rest of the scientific world, usually in the form of a research paper or a book [4]. The artistic method is a little different in that there isn’t any written down rules about it. However, it almost always requires a subject or object that you create. That is mostly done through observation, such as looking at what you are going to paint. In art, some ideas can sound good in theory, but might not work out well when created. These are just a few examples of the numerous examples of different creative methods used in different

Art has been the reflection, interpretation and representation of artists' beliefs and morals eternally. Various artists stand for different matters that quite possibly affect their lives, or might be of an interest to them. Norval Morrisseau is an artist that I was intrigued by his portrayal and the techniques used in his paintings. In this paper, we are going to look at the implementation of Morrisseau's painting style used to expose his philosophies of different aspects in his life.
My goal for this paper is to give a practical critique and defense of what I have learned in my time as a Studio Art Major. During my time here I have learned that Pensacola Christian college’s definition of art “art is the organized visual expression of ideas or feelings” and the four parts of Biblosophy: cannon, communication, client, and creativity. Along with Biblosophy I have studied Dr. Frances Schaeffer 's criteria for art, seeing how the technical, and the major and minor messages in artwork. All of these principles are great but they do need to be refined.
What does the work consist of? Who authored it, and how? What is it based on, and how does it relate? What is it, and what will become of it? The answers to these questions, collectively, form an important response to a bigger question: What is art? What does it mean to describe a piece as “a work of art”?

In Phaedrus, Plato uses the symbol of a chariot and team to represent the soul. He states, “Let us then liken the soul to the natural union of a team of winged horses and the charioteer. The gods have horses and charioteers that are themselves all good and come from stock of the same sort, everyone else has a mixture” (Phaedrus 246B). As the chariot is made of a charioteer and two horses, Plato claims that the soul is made of three parts. In Plato’s myth, reason is the charioteer that drives the two other parts of the soul the horses onwards. This portion of the soul Plato associates with the virtue of nous (reason or wisdom), with which chooses the best path for the chariot to take. Plato believes that this part of the soul is
...critics eyes as it looks at a piece of work and where the eyes follow. Also that the space and time for the LC system, the function is only a basic framework and the division of visual arts are a medium in fundamental antiquarian. Robert’s defense is Arnaldo Momigliano perspective upon early-modern antiquarian to modern historian which is most historian would write in chorological order while antiquaries write in a systematic way. The other perspective is Historian find facts to discover and explanation in multiple ways and an antiquarian examines a research relations connected to the exact subject (The Map of Art History, 32). Overall Robert’s essay was really persuasive to me and it provide enough strong evidence where it convince me to agree with the idea of having art history and disciplines also societies to represents itself through order and classification.

Quantitative research is the objective method of research, with truth, validity and legitimacy as their keys to mainstream research. Survey research, experimental research have prominent places in quantitative research, and applied behavior analysis is an art therapy friendly tool that is quantitative non the less. Quantitative research is a must for the future of art therapy.
Throughout the Morelli reading, we are shown that education is the combination of classroom material as well as practical interaction. The basis of the Morelli article was to show the difference between being a connoisseur of art, or someone who takes art in and appreciates it aesthetically, and being an actual art historian practicing in the field. The concept that differentiates between these two ways of looking at art is that when one is an art historian, he or she examines every aspect and factor that is responsible in the making of the work of art. This means that an art historian will focus more on the methodology of how and/or why the piece exists from the basis of theories such as an artist’s biography, the cultural history surrounding the piece, or others such as the psychological analysis of the artist or the influence of social movements such as Marxism or feminism. This typically requires a more in depth analysis than that of a connoisseur, and one based on more textual research. A connoisseur examines the art itself in the physical aspect: the techniques, brushstroke, texture, form, composition, etc. Throughout this article, one may find most fascinating the aspect that in looking at in varying perspectives such as both a connoisseur and as an art historian is a ben...
Over the years many artists and art historians, such as Giorgio Vasari, Pablo Picasso, Paul Rand and Marcel Duchamp, have explored the definition of art. This essay will look at the opinions of these individuals and explore the concept of art by looking at various art movements, such as Dadaism and Cubism, which have influenced the definition of art, as we know it today. In this essay, I will also discuss the two elements of art; form and content, as well as how they are key to any discussion about what makes “good art” and “bad art”.
Through these early stages of art discussed above, it shows how the foundation for today’s modern works was laid out. They show how art has developed from simple cave paintings, to the tremendous force in society that it is today.
time period, social and political conditions, and other critiques just to name a few. All of these facts can be research and then applied to the artwork critique. This prior information can be used to help clarify certain aspects and create a deeper understanding of the artwork.
Subsequent to the study of different philosophies of art, as well as completing projects asking for personal preference in art as well as objective “fine art,” a personal philosophy may, by necessity, include subjective and objective facets. In determining what fine art is, the quality of universality is important. There also does not have to be a traditional presentation of beauty for a work of art to be fine art. Contrary to R. G. Collingwood’s philosophy, for fine art the culture and setting in which art is created should not matter, because if art is universal and timeless, meaning endures outside of where and when it was created. Evaluation of art can be subjective, but fine art is universally appreciated regardless of understanding background,
