Introduction

Arts-based inquiry uses artistic expression as data for inquiry. An example is the study of Katz-Buonincontro & Foster (2012: 347) who “systematically examined how students’ symbols and color choices reflected their views of “self” and how the act of drawing was a “medium of expression” (Eisner, 1997, 2009 )” [...] “Building on the notion that avatars’ appearances and behaviors are plastic (Bailenson & Bell, 2006 ) and that working in digital media is fluid and thus fosters constructability (Brown & Sorensen, 2010 ), we contend that student identity - based on the analysis of their avatar drawings, interviews, and observations— reveals significant portraits of students’ racial and academic identity.”
