Modeling the Creative Process: A Grounded Theory Analysis of Creativity in the Domain of Art Making

Mace, Mary-Anne, Ward, Tony·2002·Creativity Research Journal

Abstract

: In recent years a number of researchers have attempted to model the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and contextual factors associated with the making of a work of art. However, very few studies have actually focused on understanding and describing what artists actually do during the creation of an artwork. Therefore, in this study grounded theory was used to investigate this phenomenon and to develop a descriptive model of the art-making process. In Study 1, 16 professional visual artists were interviewed over the course of making a work of art, which provided a descriptive database of their working processes from the inception to the completion of the artwork. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data and to develop a dynamic, descriptive model of the art-making process. A second study involving 9 artists was undertaken to determine the validity of this model. The results suggested that the model has adequate content validity and sufficient scope to accommodate the working processes of a range of artists.

    “It has been argued that individuals do not truly introspect when reporting on their cognitive processes, but instead report on their implicit theories about the cause-and-effect relations of the phenomenon (Glass & Arnkoff, 1997; Nisbett & Wilson, 1977; Rennie, Phillips, & Quartaro, 1988).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
