To co-create a playable card game with students that focuses on creative research methods. The basic idea behind this game/resource is to encourage conversations around research methods within illustration. Below is an example card which relates to research in narrative and sequential illustration and depicts a source text within sequential illustration module. A discussion with my mentor (Jackie Batey) led to the idea of the game being co-created by students. Students will be tasked with writing and illustrating their own card based on an authentic method they employ in their own research for the module- to be included in an ever expanding game. Duplicate cards are okay. The game could be played in tutorials. Any cards they create can be discussed and evaluated in tutorials, and edited/rewritten to suit. The students are depicting an actual scenario they actively take part in as part of their research.   I am looking at research with a focus in research methods in illustration. "This thesis represents a practice-led enquiry into contemporary illustration from a UK perspective. This thesis argues for illustration to be recognised as an inductive practice-led research process, within both education and developing criticism. The methods and methodological discussion to support this are derived from the practical aspect of the enquiry."  During week 2 of RIT we looked at how impact across the University is measured. We discussed REF/TEF/KEF which I knew very little about so I accessed the REF 2021 impact case studies, in particular 32 - Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory, and the impact of of Dr. Jacey Batey' s research at University of Portsmouth. CONTEMPORARY CREATIVE PRACTICE RESEARCH: SECURING THE FUTURE FOR ‘ART-ZINES’ " Dr Jackie Batey’s internationally recognized art-illustration practice-based research has influenced the development of independently-published artists’ books and ‘art-zines’ as distinctive creative forms, shaped institutional approaches to their acquisition and preservation and widened accessibility to these ephemeral forms of creative practice. Batey’s renowned creative practice research consists of an extensive 20-year corpus of independently-published artists’ books and art-zines. Her construction of a field-defining digital research and dissemination platform for art-zines (181,189 website/blog visits) has increased participation and visibility of non-academic artists. Batey’s research led directly to curatorial engagement with world-leading institutions and significantly influenced the scope of permanent collections of 89 national and international museums, archives and art institutions, forming an important new historical record and resource." Read the case study below:  Stats for the University of Portsmouth/ Illustration:
This is an important text related to research in art and design subjects by Christopher Frayling. Cited in Illustration Research Methods. 
"Dr. Jackie Batey is a practice-based researcher who creates artists' books and zines under the brand Damp Flat Books. Her serial zine Future Fantasteek! (ISSN 2399-3022) visually explores anxiety through satirical social commentary. She created the University's Zineopolis art-zine collection and has transitioned from illustrator to academic practitioner-researcher via a practice-based PhD. Batey has sought to extend the academic rigor in the field of illustration by showing how this practice can have its own agency. Her research methods include drawing and creating visual narratives to engage in social issues." I asked Jackey if she would be my mentor for the Research Informed Teaching module for my teaching innovation.  |
