“…As mentioned above, the methodology for artistic inquiry varies and there are no prescriptive sets of methods for generating and representing empirical material (Finley, 2008). Nevertheless, lose guidelines have been established, and for this article, my artistic inquiry process included multiple steps as outlined by Hervey (2000): (a) Initial awareness, (b) Decontextualization, (c) Appreciation, (d) Refinement, and (e) Recontextualization. I also engaged in reflecting and iterative art making as recommended by Kapitan (2010) and Eisner (1981).…”

“…7)." Although artistic inquiry is accessible to all, experience or knowledge of technique with one or more art forms is essential (Eisner, 2008) and it is good practice to follow the empirical suggestions set by McNiff (2018) and Hervey (2000), including bracketing of ideas and iterative art making, and address insights in supervision to intentionally reflect and reduce bias. Artistic inquiry as a formal research method in arts-based research is still growing and beginning to gain traction in higher education settings.…”

“…Artistic inquiry is a "living practice" (Springgay et al, 2008, p. xxiii) that utilizes the artistic process (visual arts, music, dance, poetry, or drama) to gather, analyze, and present data (Hervey, 2000). By evoking emotions and allowing us to feel what we cannot see, art serves as a way of knowing and expressing truths (Eisner, 2008;Hervey, 2000). The information that emerges from the artistic experience is gradually put into words through reflecting and iterative art making (Kapitan, 2010).…”

Objective: Despite arts advancement and advocacy in education, research, and clinical practice, the arts, including music, dance, theater, and visual art, continue to be largely viewed as stimulating and not necessarily scientifically sound disciplines. This article describes the intentional and methodical use of artistic inquiry to expand the grasp of the mental health condition of depression and suggest ways to engage with it. Methods: Different art forms, dance/movement, collage, sculpting, photography, and watercolor were utilized in separate artistic inquiries to explore and better understand the phenomenon of depression, specifically the elements emptiness, hopelessness, and uncertainty. Results: The engagement with art revealed that darkness promotes the germination of something new and valuable. Another discovery was that change is constant in life and can be a comforting fact considering that depression may feel interminable. Last, connection was found to be crucial. When two colors were blended, they yielded another hue and thus a novel outlook on life. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Artistic inquiry is not only an intuitive and freely accessible tool, but it also offers a unique understanding of the human condition that is rich in meaning and personally relevant. By methodically engaging with art during uncertainties or when facing a clinical or personal challenge, practitioners can increase their insight and develop exceptional and creative solutions that may contribute to psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery.

“…In addition to keeping observational notes, the researcher has taken time to reflect on the therapy process after the 'incubation period (Hervey, 2000)'. Those reflections are arts-based and function as a way of different forms of knowing (McNiff 2007;Simons & McCormack 2007).…”

Aesthetics and the sense of beauty in Japan occupy a special place and are at the foundation of the Japanese national identity. In Japanese culture, every aspect of daily life can become an aesthetic experience. Objects and rituals have to be both beautiful and functional at the same time. This duet of beauty and functionality is illuminated by the constellation of a number of aesthetic concepts. Concept of MA which is often translated as "space between," "mindful pause," or as a "negative space" could also be understood as "active silence" or "presence of absence." From architecture to literature, painting, calligraphy and culinary arts, MA is everpresent in performing arts, martial arts, and all "meditation in motion" practices. Japanese character for MA is part of such words as world, humankind, space, time, moment, circle of friends and many others. This paper will focus on MA in Chanoyu, commonly known as the Japanese tea ceremony, in particular, its applications to the contemplative pedagogy, the ways of teaching and learning of this discipline. The research is based on my students' diaries, which is one of the components of the "Japanese Aesthetics" course taught in a Canadian university. Though Japanese aesthetic concepts are deeply rooted in the country's cultural fabric, it doesn't mean that they cannot appeal to the tastes of non-Japanese. Moreover, I argue that they can be successfully applied as a methodology in various disciplines, pedagogy in particular.

“…It is well known that the structure of psychotherapeutic sessions plays a crucial role not only for its replicability but also for its coherence and efectiveness (Hilliard, 1993;Kazdin, 2008). The uniqueness and complexity of creative arts therapies is that they have a dynamic and fuent, often intuitive, structure (Hervey, 2000;Meekums, 2002;Green, 2004). Wengrower (2009, p. 26) discussed the creative-artistic process in DMT as "an exploration of movements, images and metaphors, often in nonlinear paths of thoughts and actions".…”
