Abstract
Research education is a central component of doctoral programs. Recognizing the sophistication and the complexity of the Ph.D./Ed.D. degrees, doctoral students are heavily screened based on their ability to do well in traditional courses. However, the conduct of dissertation requires a major leap beyond that tested ability. The act of doing research in any field involves fresh perception, re-conceptualization, a deepening of interpretation and understanding, and communication. Processes that are rarely attended to in schools, it rests upon research educators to attend to their cultivation. Focusing on how these processes can be addressed in the teaching of research, I discuss the important and unexamined contributions that intensified engagement with artwork can offer to research education.
