Dirk VisResearch for People who Think they Would Rather Create

What is artistic research? What is a research document? How do these relate to the making process, invention, and creativity? At the heart of this book are dozens of examples from the field of art and design – each of which illustrates one specific aspect of developing a thesis, essay, paper, research, document, or however else it may be referred to in your own setting. Research for People who Think they Would Rather Create addresses relevant aspects of the art and design research and documentation process. From finding the right topic and approach to formulating research questions, and from working out the methods to choosing a writing style : this book is a practical guide to developing a research document.
