Painting I / Research Methods for Artists
Practice question · True or false

Practice-based and practice-led research are two names for the same activity.

Hints
  1. Ask what is being offered as the contribution in each case.
  2. One offers an artefact and the other offers an understanding.
Show the answer

False

Why

False. In practice-based research the creative artefact itself is the basis of the contribution; in practice-led research the outcome is primarily new understanding about practice. A studio project is usually the first, and writing it up as though it were the second is what makes so many dossiers read as apologies.
