In a recent faculty meeting I was successful in talking with art
professors by drawing parallels between the creative process of research
and that of art-making.
Similarities exist between the process of gathering information & the
process of making art.
Both:
-begin with a motivation to find out about something
-develop by formulating a series of questions
-are self-directed
-are a creative process and in many cases the results are subjective
-meaning the artist is really the only one who knows if what they have
found satisfies the question
This seemed to have opened a few doors.
