Show the answer

Frayling separated research into, research through and research for art, in 1993. Candy's guide of 2006 distinguished practice-based from practice-led research. The standard colour target used to keep photographs comparable carries 24 patches. A record written at the moment of the decision, rather than reconstructed later, is a reflective journal.

Why

The first blank names the category most student research actually falls into, and there is nothing wrong with that. Research for art is the reading, the archive visit and the material trial that make the work possible; it becomes a problem only when it is presented as if it were the contribution itself.
