Reflexivity in Vlogging the Creative Process:An Action Research Project

This action research project investigates the reflective benefits of vlogging for fine art students in a bachelor’s program in the Philippines. While the notion surfaced during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the realization of the study became more explicit in the latter part of the global condition. Online arts learning impeded the material aspect of artmaking, which made the instruction difficult for both the students and the teacher. Amid the challenges posed by the physicality of art, the study explores how vlogging aids in understanding the creative process. Conducted over three weeks, the project involved students documenting and reflecting on their experiences, with evidence gathered through records, interviews, and focus group discussions. Vlogging not only acquainted students with their art journey but also enhanced productivity and fostered knowledge-sharing, encouraging fellow students to improve their work. The study provides valuable insights for educators and students alike, helping them prepare for future similar circumstances.
