Research on the arts: Traditional, academic research focused on art history and criticism that places your work in a historic context.
Research for the arts: Technical, material, and applied research aimed at developing one's craft and technique.
Research as art, or practice-based research: Embodied research, experimentation, and observation that is intrinsically tied to one's creative practice. This type of research is embedded in the art-making process and final work, often resulting in artistic representations of data.
Artists are often inspired by what's happening around them, leading them to conduct research outside of the arts. They take notice and follow curiosities to make connections. The resulting work may not answer every question but exists as a snapshot of where the artist and world is in that moment.
