Portrait of a Methodology: Portraiture as Critical Arts-Based Research

View through CrossRef
AbstractIn this invited paper for the 2019 Elliot Eisner Doctoral Research Award in Art Education from the National Art Education Association, Sarah Travis draws upon her dissertation, Portraits of Young Artists: Artworlds, In/Equity, and Dis/Identification in Post-Katrina New Orleans, to offer a critical arts-based interpretation of portraiture methodology. Portraiture methodology is a form of qualitative inquiry developed by Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot and Jessica Hoffmann Davis. With examples from her dissertation research into artist identity formation in teens, Travis delineates connections between portraiture methodology, critical race theory, and arts-based research through the five central lenses of portraiture: context, voice, relationship, emergent themes, and the aesthetic whole.
