ARTE 660 Selected Topics in Art Education (3 credits):

Term: Fall
Day/time: Tuesday 16:00-18:00

Instructor:  TBD
Topic:  Visual Methodologies for Art Education Research

How can visual materials, whether found or created, inform art education research? In this class, students will become familiar with a broad range of visual methodologies as they intersect with art education research, including image analysis, arts-based participatory and community research, and creative practice embedded within other qualitative methods. Using Gillian Rose’s Visual Methodologies as our starting point, we will integrate a broad range of literature to consider what existing and created visual materials offer to researchers, participants, collaborators, and audiences. 

Students will complete weekly readings, come prepared for hands-on activities and class discussions, and engage in depth with one or two visual methodologies of their choosing. Projects will include developing and sharing a study guide to a visual methodology and developing a small pilot study as the final that puts their guide into action. 

The class will use Gillian Roses’ Visual Methodologies: An Introduction to Researching with Visual Materials 5^thedition, which is a critical text for researchers who use visual methodologies. It will be available in the Concordia library and can be purchased in the Concordia bookstore at the beginning of the semester. Note that while older editions are widespread, there have been substantial updates between the 4^th and 5^th editions that make the newest edition worthwhile. Other reading materials will be provided through the library course reserves.
