Methodology in Arts Research

Methodology in arts research refers to the systematic approach researchers use to explore creative questions or topics. It includes the strategies, techniques, and processes for gathering information, analyzing artworks, and interpreting cultural contexts. This might involve performance analysis, interviews, archival studies, or visual examination. The methodology ensures the research is organized, credible, and transparent, guiding how conclusions are drawn about artistic practices, themes, or histories. Essentially, it’s the roadmap that shapes how artists or scholars investigate and contribute new understanding within the arts.
