Abstract

A research paradigm is a blueprint that lay out the many roles of how the development of knowledge can be place within a particular discipline in research. As artistic research is still in its infancy, this paper attempts to proposed a schematic foundation for art practice-based research paradigm by referencing to an existing structure proposed by Gray and Malins. The research takes a interpretative method in developing definition and basic argument, providing the future researcher with a fundamental comprehension of the research paradigm by focusing on its three components—namely, ontology, epistemology, and methodology—as outlined in their suggested scheme.
