E-raamat: Artist Scholar: Reflections on Writing and Research

This work is indispensable to any artist, inside or outside the academy, who wishes to understand the historical and cultural roots of the contemporary view that research and art making are inextricable. What makes Daichendt's argument potentially generative for artists is that it is centered in the author's belief that research and writing can be powerful ways of strengthening and deepening artistic production. The reader will find a broad range of clear and usefully provocative insights that frame research not a substitute for art making, but as a tool for better art making. --Nick Jaffe, musician, teaching artist, Chief Editor of the Teaching Artist Journal As an artist, scholar and educator, Daichendt draws upon his research and personal experiences to present the importance of reflective writing in graduate visual art studio programs. His insights about how the MFA candidate can use visual and verbal scholarship methods to enhance their own and others understanding of the art-making process make a significant contribution to the literature about university art education.
