Practical & Visual Research

On Tuesday we had an interesting workshop on 'practical and visual reasearch methods' with one of this years BA top-up students, Marta Siolkowska. It was similar to the research workshop we had earlier this term with Orlagh, but this time there was more involvement and an array of art and design materials on offer.

What we had to do was find a practical and visual way of gathering research. I decided that I wanted to find out peoples inner personalities, and one practical method I came up with was to ask people to draw a quick sketch on 'what would they do if they were invisible?". And yes, this took out the devil in everybody!

Here are some images of the outcome:









We all then discussed each others ideas and findings and the outcomes were fantastic. This was definitely an eye opener and has helped me understand how practical research could be used intensively.
