Research

‘I think that the arts are so close to our psychological and biological core, so close to this biological identity, that rather than think of arts courses as sort of whipped cream or luxury, they must become basic experiences in education.’ (Abraham Maslow)

Research studies have given me insights of a broader exposure to the knowledge about the field of art and education through theory and has propelled me into the school of Fine Arts, in the Printmaking Department well-equipped to face the coming challenges. My main objective is to ensure professional development through questioning and reviewing of my own practice as well as different aspects related to art education, particularly printmaking, in a critical way. I want to reflect on them with a broad minded approach to question, understand or find answers to current social issues. Consequently, research in art education whether theoretical or empirical are essential to professional practice. There is a need for teacher/lecturer to adopt what has been called an ‘extended professionalism’, that attitude to their work which makes them professionals in the full sense rather than mere practioners’ (A.V.Kelly, 1999). To achieve this level of professionalism, we need to acknowledge the importance of research in relation to theory, policy and practice in our evolution process. It has a major role to play in moulding a system that will ensure quality, effectiveness and relevance of art education to learners. As I advance in my research and my practice, I feel very enthusiastic in taking new challenges in the printmaking field, for instance moving towards non-toxicity of printmaking processes and relevantly engaging student in this particular artistic field. I hope that my endeavour will prove to be advantageous to the whole Fine Art school community where I intend to implement planned and guided innovations and accordingly connect theory and practice.
