This chapter presents both the rationale of and a practical guide to using arts-based methods in research with children. We outline a number of adaptable lesson plans, including guides for activities, strategies for engagement and required materials. We discuss examples from the fieldwork of the Interfaith Childhoods project to demonstrate how applied visual and digital arts practices can activate different aspects of children’s imaginaries and enable children to communicate complex experiences, emotions and perspectives in accessible, engaging and non-confrontational ways. Drawing from new materialist theories of entanglement, we offer arts workshops as sites in which children engage in complex processes of being and becoming, and arts-based methods as a way of probing the complex interactions of children with their world. |
