Arts Based Research

Here are some quotes taken from a Harvard University website concerning arts based research:

Arts-Based Research (ABR) is an emerging set of methods that are extremely diverse, but united by their ambitions to blur the lines between “science” and “art.” These methods tap into the artistic process as a primary mode of inquiry, creating various forms of art as a way to collect data, conduct analysis, and/or represent social science research (Leavy, 2009)...

...Today ABR practitioners, including many in the field of education, utilize diverse and sometimes very personal combinations of arts and research methods. Two forms that have become more common in recent years are Poetry-based research, which uses collected data as a basis for original poetry, and Ethnodrama, which brings together ethnographic research with theatrical writing and performance....

...In many ways still in its formative stages, writers in the field of Arts-Based Research have been working to document its diversity and to engage in important questions around methodology and epistemology such as: What are the strengths and weaknesses of using art as a mode of inquiry? What research topics and questions could benefit most from being addressed through ABR? What constitutes quality in ABR and how can such quality be judged?
