• In Event: Arts based educational reserch and critical care

Abstract

This paper introduces artistic elicitations, an innovative method that employs a variety of artistic mediums, including drawings, photographs, paintings, music, collages, and other forms of creative expression, to engage with specific prompts. Artistic elicitation is grounded in literature on art-based research (Leavy, 2020), photo elicitation (Harper, 2002), and song elicitation (Allet, 2010). Ultimately, artistic elicitations provides co-creators with power and a sense of care. This method present significant opportunities for recognizing diverse forms of thinking both within and outside of academic contexts.
