Twelve contributors explore the relationships between and among the three roles of artist, researcher, and teacher as they implement arts-based educational research. Each contributor uses her or his own artistic practices as integral ot complementary practices to other forms of inquiry. In each case, the artist-author examines an educational issue and through visual and textual means, pursues theoretical and practical considerations. Each artist-author engages with theory and practice, art and text, self and other, artist and teacher. In many respects, two points of view are explored: art as phenomenon and art-making as method. Using these points separately or together, the artist-authors explore the fullness of such inquiry for educational research. Through an examination of these art-based texts, readers will come to appreciate educational practices in deeper and more meaningful ways.
