Abstract

This chapter of Communicating Creativity: The Discursive Facilitation of Creativity in Arts uses the context of the early modernist painters to show that the written and spoken communication that facilitates their respective creative practices can be examined and understood through a set of differently focused analytical lenses. This method of analysis is referred to as a multi-perspectival approach to discourse analysis. Focusing on the educational context of a university art and design studio, the chapter shows how multi-perspectival research can provide rich insights into student creative practice. The chapter identifies six discourses that are facilitative of creative practice in the university art and design studio, and which constitute the phenomenon understood as creativity within that particular context.
