CRiAD- Centre for Research in Art and Design Gray's School of Art:
- Programmes: Factual information (give pointer to specific web
page if appropriate) The Centre for Research at Gray¹s School of Art
has been registering students for higher degrees since 1988. The School
has promoted a Śpractice-based¹ approach to research - that is, research
initiated in practice and carried out through practice, from the informed
perspective of the Śpractitioner-researcher¹. Currently research themes
include the following: € Critical Contexts for Professional Practice in
the Visual Arts € New Technologies / Multimedia / Hypermedia € Environmental
/ Sustainable Practices € Interpretative Research Methodologies All four
areas involve the development of approaches to computing, directly or indirectly.
To date three Ph.D.s and one M.Phil. have successfully been completed in
the School, with currently six registrations for M.Phil./Ph.D. ongoing.
The School has eight experienced supervisors, most of whom have supervised
to Ph.D. level. The School received a rating of Ś3a¹ in the 1996 Research
Assessment Exercise, and continues to develop an increasingly international
research profile. The Research Centre currently employs a Reader, Senior
Research Fellows, Research Fellows, Research Assistants and a number of
Research Students. CRiAD is based at Gray's School of Art, which is part
of the Faculty of Design, one of five faculties comprising the Robert Gordon
University. The School is concerned with the education and training of
practitioners of Art and Design to include fine art, design for industry
and design and craft. Relevant educational programmes: There are two educational
programmes at undergraduate level: the award of Batchelor of Science with
Honours and the award of Bachelor of Arts with Honours, both of which are
four year courses. There is a postgraduate Masters course, which is one
year. The university operates a three semester per year system
- Courses: Relevant courses (titles): Batchelor of Arts in Art

Fellows: Dr Julian Malins Dr Anne Douglas Mr Don Addison Gray's School

Programme: Lennox Dunbar Course Leader for Design and Craft: Lenny Smith
Course Leader for Design for Industry: Iain Pirie
- Computational resources: The resources in the school are largely
Macintosh based with access to email and the Internet. Within research
current packages are used for desktop publishing, multimedia, word processing,
graphic design, image capture and manipulation, databases, spread sheets,
CAD/CAM, and 3D modelling and visualisation.
- Research projects: € Critical Contexts for Professional Practice
in the Visual Arts. This area involves the critical visualisation and mapping
of current practice both within Fine Art as well as Design. Improvisation,
random processes and the methodology of game have been developed as interpretative
frameworks for understanding practice as a process. The computer is used
as a tool for the visualisation of these frameworks. Resulting publications
include Douglas, A (1997) On the Notion of Test CD publication in Sculpture,
Method, Research, Matrix 3d Conference Proceedings (1995) Central St Martins
School of Art, the RADical 1994 Conference (on CD Rom),CRiAD. The Centre
is extending this area of investigation with the development of research
into collaborative strategies for Fine Art practice. € New Technologies
/ Multimedia / Hypermedia Current projects include the development of multimedia
for practitioners of Art and Design, to include procedures both for the
realisation of new work as well as for reflective critical assessment of
existing work. Aspects of this research make use of computer technology
throughout the creation of a design object. This work will be extended
by a new project which focuses specifically on the development of dynamic
interfaces of web publication in tandem with the Master in Research Methods
Course in Art and Design. € Environmental / Sustainable Practices Research
issues within this section are identified by practitioners from within
practice and its location within the workplace. So far this has embraced
the subject areas of printmaking and ceramics. Pengelly, J (1997) Environmentally
Sensitive Printmaking- a Framework for Safe Practice The Robert Gordon
University unpublished Ph.D. Malins, J (1993) The Monitoring and Control
of Specialist Kiln Atmospheres and Emissions The Robert Gordon University
unpublished Ph.D. Malins. J. and Bunnell, K. (1996) Ceramics, Research
and Industry: a Synergistic Approach, NCECA Conference Proceedings € Interpretative
Research Methodologies Fine Art and Design practice is a relatively new
area within formal research. As a consequence each practitioner/researcher
becomes a contributor to the question of methodology appropriate to the
disciplines. While methodologies straddle both quantitative and qualitative
approaches, there is an increasing bias towards interpretative methods
and the use of the computer as an interpretative tool. Current publications
include Gray, C (1995) 'Artistic' Research Procedure: Research at the Edge
of Chaos?, in 'Design Interfaces' conference proceedings, Vol. 3, European
Academy of Design, University of Salford Gray, C and J. Malins (1995) Developing
Appropriate Research Methodologies for Artists, Designers and Craftspersons:
Research as a Learning Process, , full paper presented at 'Making It' conference,
Crafts Council, Woolley Hall, Wakefield, resume of paper in conference
proceedings) Gray, C ; Julian Malins and Anne Douglas (1995) Developing
a Research Procedures Programme for Artists & Designers, Centre for
Research in Art & Design, Robert Gordon University.
- ODL: The Master in Research methods course (distance learning)
is due to commence in January 1998 subject to validation. This course is
designed for those artists and designers at present undertaking research
for higher degrees such as M.Phil. and Ph.D., as well as those in professional
practice who wish to introduce research methods into their own practice.
Practice is understood in this context to embrace both the making of art
and design work as well as its publication and dissemination. The course
is therefore open to curators, critics, facilitators as well as makers.
It is distance learning and project based, to include networked debate.
It is full time and project led, so that experience of research methods
is built into ongoing practice throughout the duration of the course.
