Process Of Artistic Creation Research Articles

Appropriation Method in Visual Art Teacher Education Painting Art Studio Course

This research is a case study aiming to reveal the experiences of art students towards the activity of “reproduction through appropriation”. During the activity process, students were firstly informed about appropriation and the art of appropriation, especially the works in which two works of art were appropriated by integrating them, and each student was asked to identify two works of art to be appropriated. Students made sketches by establishing relational links between the two works they chose. In the last stage, students were expected to make a new artistic production. In this research, which was conducted with the participation of 8 students attending the art studio course, the experiences of the students regarding the process formed the unit of analysis. Worksheets, process evaluation form and artworks were used as data sources. As a result of the research, it was identified that the students were able to produce thoughts about the concepts emerging with appropriation and appropriation art and question this art practice. The students made an effort to integrate the artistic elements in the two works they used for appropriation in an appropriate way and to create the best visual fiction, and they were able to bring a new interpretation by making use of the artists’ application of the paint technique and their understanding of colour in the appropriated works. They also realised that the artwork they produced was only a tool to force themselves into the artistic creation process and to gain artistic knowledge and skills. In other words, they developed an awareness of the limits of utilising the works in the history of art to ensure originality in their future arworks. It is possible to say that making use of the appropriation method in art studio courses will contribute to the artistic development of students.

AI Painting in TikTok

AI painting in TikTok has gained popularity due to advancements in AI technology. The history of AI art dates back to 1973 when the first AI-generated painting was created. TikTok has incorporated AI technology into various special effects, such as the ”comic face” effect. The idea behind AI painting is to represent human creations as vectors in a mathematical space. A survey revealed that the majority of respondents had a basic understanding of AI painting and were highly aware of AI painting technology in TikTok. However, many respondents had limited knowledge of its development and related artworks. Ethical concerns surrounding AI art include the potential devaluation of human effort, legal issues, and the possibility of stereotypical and sexualized portrayals. Some artists have also expressed concerns about their artwork being stolen and flooded by AI-generated art. Despite these concerns, AI art presents new opportunities for representation and participation in the art creation process. It is crucial to consider the ethical implications of this evolving technology.

Sculpting Emotion: Female Passion and the Paratextual Framing of Felicia Hemans’s “Properzia Rossi” (1828)

ABSTRACT On the surface, “Properzia Rossi” (1828) may be a poem about unrequited love, but more importantly it works to raise the status of women’s work through the reciprocal relationship established between the sister arts of poetry and sculpture. This article aims to further the discussion surrounding Hemans’s ekphrastic poetry by analysing the paratextual framing of “Properzia Rossi”, and interrogate how this prefatory content contributes to the treatment of female passion, creativity, and the sister arts within the poem itself. Aside from the biographical headnote, in which Hemans describes a painting of Properzia De’Rossi by Louis Ducis as the source behind her work, it is also important to consider how the poem is framed within the collection, Records of Woman (1828). The opening epigraph for the collection is a quotation from Wordsworth’s “Laodamia” (1815): a poem that questions the value of excess emotion. This article, therefore, adopts a new approach to “Properzia Rossi” by considering it as Hemans’s response to the discussion of female passion in “Laodamia”. For Hemans, the process of artistic creation is an outlet for emotion, whilst the resulting art object becomes a means of eliciting an emotional response from the beholder.

System-forming mission of culture: Russian civilization at the turn of the era

The article is a review of the book by M.K. Gorshkov, S.N. Komissarov and O.I. Karpukhin At the Turn of the Era: Social Dynamics of Russian Culture (Moscow: FCTAS RAS, 2022. 703 p.). The book is of great theoretical and social-political significance and outlines new horizons for the development of sociological science. The authors emphasize the strategic role of culture as the core of the Russian society and its importance for successful social modernization and economic growth. The book provides new concepts and theoretical-methodological approaches to the analysis of the social-cultural reality in post-reform Russia and defines the field of sociology of culture as the entire human world in its specific spatial-temporal coordinates, taken in dynamics that reveals the intercultural interaction between the past, present and future. Culture is presented in the book as an environment for the preservation and transmission of spiritual heritage, which contributes to the ‘immunity’ from the destabilizing information impact. The authors consider the issues of the social dynamics of the Russian culture in the late 20th - early 21st century on the data of many sociological surveys, conduct a social-cultural analysis of organizational, structural and qualitative changes in the cultural activities of the population and in the artistic-creative process, present a comprehensive picture of the social dynamics of the Russian culture at the turn of the era, including the state of the spiritual-value motivation, the social-cultural nature of transformations and their social-cultural consequences.

POSTMODERNIST VISION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AUTHOR AND THE HERO AS AN ACT OF TRANSGRESSION

The focus of the author of the article is the solution of the problem of reality in the literature of postmodernism. We are talking about the subjective nature of the perception of space by the characters of two stories. The author of the first of them, “Podmiot”, is the Polish writer and psychologist Olga Tokarczuk. The author of the second, “The Incredible Story of the «Pocket Oracle»”, is Ukrainian writer and literary critic Oleksandr Mikhed. The key event in each of the stories is the destruction of the boundary between literature and reality, between the author and his hero. In the story by Olga Tokarchuk, the character of the autobiographical novel, like a shadow from H. K. Andersen’s fairy tale, tries to capture the living space of his creator, to replace him. In Alexander Mikhed’s story, the real person – the reader – identified himself so much with the hero of the young writer’s novel that he even went to commit the murder of the author in order to save a fictional character, believing that in this way he can protect his own life from the arbitrariness of the one who invented this character. Various motivations for what happens in the stories are offered. The destruction of the boundary between the fictional and real worlds in both stories may be a result of reflection of how the authors see the process of artistic creation; it may be connected with artistic study of the mental state of the characters; the inclusion of fantastic motifs may be an allusion to the famous works of romantic writers. Mainly the author of the article connects this process in both stories with the actual problem of modern philosophy – transgression. It, in turn, is directly related to many questions that we are trying to find an answer to. In particular, are the boundaries between fiction and reality so strong, and is there really such a different space (dimension) in which literary characters are no less real than ourselves.

Visual Narratives of Jewish Identity

Abstract Autobiography and self-reflection on Jewish identity are recurring subjects of the works of Miriam Libicki, a third-generation American-Israeli comic artist. Drawing on a semi-structured interview with Libicki, this article explores how the concept of Jewish identity, both personal and collective, has influenced the artist's creative process throughout her career. Libicki's positionality as a third-generation artist is examined, alongside her oeuvre's place within the current trends of third-generation comics. Libicki's recent work on an SSHRC-funded Holocaust graphic novel project, A Kind of Resistance (2022), led her to undertake a more personal project which examines her grandmother's survival experience, Glasnost Kids (forthcoming). This most recent work on Holocaust narratives has brought Libicki closer to her own Jewish ancestry and has allowed her to further analyse and position her own Jewish identity within both historic and contemporary contexts.

ZNAČAJ IKT-A U NASTAVI I LIKOVNOJ UMETNOSTI

The paper discusses the importance of using ICT in the context of education and art. A special emphasis is placed on teaching and fine arts. The paper points to the specific features of ICT as a source of widened opportunities for expression, communication, and perception in teaching and art, as well as to it being a support in the engagement and motivation of all participants in the educational or creative process. Furthermore, it points to the necessity of the development of teachers’ professional and digital competencies for us to harmonise the teaching process with modern social life and thus essentially improve the quality of educa- tional work. It also deals with new tools, programs, and the use of technologies in the process of creating art. The advantages of using ICT in terms of domains and opportunities in the process of learning are highlighted, as well as the potential that they have to transform the process of education or artistic creation. Fine arts are the sphere ICT has improved and could improve even more. ICT has been used by architects and designers to facilitate the process of creating and promoting their skills. The manner in which fine arts are taught nowadays is largely different from that of the past. While students once had to rely entirely on their teacher, textbooks, and encyclopedias, today’s students have more resources made available by ICT, such as databases about artists’ lives and works or high-quality images that can be enlarged and thoroughly examined, all of which may enhance their own creativity and perception.

Entre forma e conteúdo: a generalização afetiva na arte

Abstract This article continues Vygotsky’s efforts in investigating the social genesis of affective generalization in artistic creative and reception process proposed in On the problem of the psychology of the actor’s creative work. Affective generalization abstracts emotions and feelings from the individual to the social plane and from the mundane to the hyper-generalized level. Based on an examination of Vygotsky’s aesthetic ideas, we introduced Chinese philosopher Defeng Wang’s work in philosophy of art under the existential approach. Finally, we propose to adopt the cultural psychology of semiotic mediation as a framework to capture this dynamic process.

André Malraux's journey to China: antimémoires

Malraux's writing forcefully poses the problem of the relations between the real and the imaginary, between action and its representation, between poetry and truth. As this article will show, André Malraux found in his trip to China the inspiration for a new process of artistic creation that culminates in his work Antimémoires, where action and history build the guiding thread of a metaphysical and mythological travel story. Our analysis will show how his life and his work, deeply united, are the two forms of an intense organization of himself, life constructed as work and work narrated as life.

Impact of professional reorientation of people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in the photo & video production industry

This qualitative research explores the therapeutic effects of photography and video making on the mental health of disabled people, mainly paraplegics and tetraplegics. We will see to what extent the artistic creative process and the professional reconversion might concur to the rehabilitation and integration of people with limited physical capabilities. Furthermore, we will determine how they perceive the experience and whether it generated positive or negative thoughts about the acquired disability. Last but not least, we will try to find out if the artistic process has improved the self-esteem of the subjects, as well as their perceived quality of life. Although we found that all study participants have low self-esteem, it does not influence their self-image, with the identified traits generally being positive and adaptive. The study also showed that references to manifested disability are very weak, which indicates that disability is not considered to be a defining characteristic for the analyzed group, but just another aspect of personality.

Cross-media study of artistic images and texts of art based on big data

The emergence of a new media will lead to the transformation of art. In-depth discussion of the historical echoes between the evolution of communication media and art forms can clarify the communication perspective of art research. Media is not only the form of art but also the content of art. Media changes the process of art creation, dissemination and acceptance, presents different forms of artistic media expression, changes the ontological existence of art, and enables it to acquire more unique communication charm. Therefore, on the basis of understanding the development status of the art field in the era of big data, this paper deeply discusses the cross-media nature of art images and texts with big data technology as the core, so as to clarify the development trend of art texts in the new era.

THE CREATION OF “REPURPOSING” CERAMIC USING ROOF TILES WASTE

There was a lot of used roof tile discovered throughout the village. However, the community did not turn it into usable items. The roof tile waste motivated us to turn it into artwork.

This creative study made use of the experimentation, reflection, and formation phases of Dharsono's artistic creation approach. This artistic creation process resulted in a jug of art entitled "Wanawarih." This artwork is full of symbolic expression values about the trilogy of vitality, namely forest preservation, water function maintenance, and earth manifestation

Nie tylko zupka z muszek. Poetycki potencjał kulinariów w polskiej współczesnej poezji dziecięcej

Alicja Mazan-Mazurkiewicz’s aim in this article is to show the richness and variety of poetical implementations of culinary themes in children’s poetry as represented by Joanna Kulmowa, Joanna Papuzińska, Zofia Beszczyńska, and Agnieszka Kuciak. Mazan-Mazurkiewicz wants to emphasise how a topic that is close to the child and somehow obvious makes it possible for the receiver to be themselves poetically creative and offers them an aesthetic experience as well as an initiation (often unconscious) into the processes of artistic creation, involving humour, metaphor, synaesthesia, and retardation.

Meaning-making and interpretation through personal mandalas in the context of visual literacy

This research investigates the significance of creative freedom and self-expression through the visual analysis of artworks produced in a workshop under the theme ‘Visual Literacy’. This multi-layered qualitative study presents the findings from a participatory arts-based research approach that elicits students’ creative expression through their personal mandalas. Artworks collected from this creative process were assessed using the interpretive phenomenological analysis method whereas the Common European Framework of Reference for Visual Literacy (CEFR-VL) was used as an assessment tool. Supporting youth through arts-based interventions and motivating them to communicate their feelings and perceptions can be an integral part of students’ creative development. Hence, as the focus of the study, this paper aims to illustrate the youths’ perception, interpretation, and meaning-making through the artistic creative processes to stimulate their creative and critical thinking.

A study of watercolor art on the theme of Qin Shihuang's terracotta army

This work is devoted to the terracotta army of Qin Shihuang and its reflection in the works of modern Chinese masters of watercolor. The article consists of three parts. The first part analyzes the genesis and history of Qin Shihuang's clay army. In the second, the terracotta army is regarded as a cultural and artistic symbol of China, which stimulated humanitarian contacts between Russia and China and contributed to mutual understanding between the two peoples. In the third part, through the prism of the artistic experience and creative process of three watercolor artists, the current state of research of watercolor creativity on the theme of the terracotta army is analyzed. The author's special contribution to the development of the problem is to determine the connection between the ancient cultural heritage of China and the nature of its interpretation in the works of modern watercolor artists. The novelty of the study can be recognized as the introduction into the scientific circulation of Russian art history of the names of Chinese artists and their paintings dedicated to the terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shihuang. Within the framework of the work, an appeal is made to the issue of Chinese-Russian cultural cooperation, the development of which is realized through touching this most representative monument of antiquity. Through the art criticism analysis of watercolor paintings by Chinese masters — Huang Zhongyang, Lin Shaolin, Zuo Xinmin — approaches to the reflection of this historical monument in the works of modern masters are determined, the connection between ancient and modern, traditional and innovative in their paintings is established.
