Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the methodological approach of art-based research as a form of conducting research studies in expressive art therapies. In art-based research, artistic means are applied as methods of data collecting and processing, as well as presenting research results. Besides being the object of studying, artistic activity and its products becomes the research method itself. The methods of art-based research reflect the characteristics of the utilised art form or means; however, it is important to understand a different research paradigm which they stem from.
