藝術研究法是近年來質性方法中廣泛受到矚目的研究方法，藝術研究法能夠提供豐富與深度的訊息，能突破傳統以文本分析為主的質性研究方法的限制，是一項值得採用的研究方法。本文的目的是介紹與說明藝術探查的研究方法，輔以三個畫圖法的研究做為範例，最後對藝術研究法的可能挑戰與未來研究及應用提出建議。經由本文的介紹，希望提供給質性研究的同好在使用訪談法時，能將畫圖法納入考量，結合二種方法來進行質性研究資料的收集。

Art-based method is one of qualitative research methods that has been highly recognized in recent decade. Art-based method can help participants provide rich and deep information that might be limited by traditional qualitative research methods which rely on words and text analysis. Therefore, art-based method is valuable in a way that it complements traditional qualitative research methods and brings diverse information that broaden our understanding of our target participants. The purpose of this study was to explain what arts-based method was by presenting three studies as examples. This study also discussed challenges and proposed suggestions for future study as well as applications for practitioners. We hope, through our study, qualitative researchers can consider using art-based method as an alternative ways of gathering research information in order to enrich their studies.
