Funded Activity Summary

The Making of Creative Artists. This project is designed to examine how creativity is developed among artists. Through analysing the experience of five groups of artists (from undergraduate students to established practitioners), it investigates subjects' conceptions of creativity and the creative processes emergent within their practice. Using a theoretical framework based on Pierre Bourdieu and refined by one of the chief investigators (Chan), the project employs a longitudinal research design to examine the development of creativity among novices. Contrasted against a background of orthodox literature in creativity research the project breaks new ground in explaining the role of creativity in the sociology of occupations.
