How to research - Looking as research
No full textThis is one of a series of pedagogic artist resources made for Tate Learning, to support teachers and members of the public in teaching and learning in relation to contemporary artists practice and the Tate collection. This resource is distributed on-line via Tate website and as a physical book to visiting teachers to the gallery. I have made several others for Tate and Serpentine Galleries.Looking as research was developed from a set of questions from the Tate Learning team regarding my practice as an artist, particularly with reference to film-making. How to Research booklets provide clear yet in-depth examples of what research really looks like for artists. The booklets offer creative strategies to support a broad range of Art and Design curriculum at GCSE, BTEC, AS and A Level. Developed in conversation with artists and teachers, these resources invite consideration of the meaning and value of research within art practice. By championing research as an integral tool for developing students’ individual voices and lines of enquiry, the How to Research series aims to support engaged, contextualised, thoughtful investigations into and alongside art and artmaking
