“…Hirst's conception of art however is limited and rigid, seeing art as a language which is a conduit for a form of knowledge; moreover, the form of knowledge is simply knowledge of art. The notion of art being a language is challenged by Peter Scrimshaw's article in the same issue [6]. Scrimshaw points out that, while Picasso's Guernica, for example, was not painted in 'English' it was also not painted in a language called 'artistic', merely awaiting a translator, pointing out that 'such translations are not possible because there is no initial linguistic entity to be the subject of such an enterprise' (p. 137).…”

This article is an account of a pilot project designed to help art & design teachers in training use their particular strengths to report on classroom observation through visual art. The project is underpinned by the notion that the arts provide a particular way of knowing and that teaching should be student-centred. I argue that if the arts can be seen to be a particular way through which we can understand the world then they can be used as both a pedagogical tool and possibly a vehicle for collecting data and reporting research. A group of 19 student teachers of art & design were given tasks which involved reporting on their school placement experience via a visual art form rather than through a text-based form such as writing. The resulting images were discussed in a seminar and a sub-group of three students was purposely selected for interviews. It was found overall, the students valued the approach taken and that they gained valuable insights into their professional placements through adopting an art-based approach to educational research.As a result, I advocate in this article a greater use of arts-based approaches to research which explores educational experience, not only in the arts, but in all areas of teaching and learning.
