Um estudo sobre as noções de experiência no processo criativo de estudantes na formação acadêmica em artes visuais da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

The creative process can be an enigma for the art student, something to be explored, potentially linked to self-knowledge and the individual's Experiences. My eagerness to understand the nuances of this process led me to delve deeper into how the notion of Experience could connect with the creative process of undergraduate students in the Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts in the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) This research motivated me to pose three questions that guided this study; among them are: What is the relevance to studying Experience in the process of visual art creation in art education? In what ways are visual artist students connected to the notions of Experience in their creative processes? In contemporary times, are the artistic creation processes in art education open or porous to an Experiential process? Armed with these inquiries, I set out to investigate the relationship between the notions of Experience and the creative process in academic training. Regarding methodological procedures, I opted for a study with a post-positivist perspective, in which a theoretical study and data collection were carried out through semi-structured and qualitative interviews. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with three professors and twelve students from the Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts, with three students from each of the four theoretical-practical subjects offered by the Institution: Experimental Photography and Video Workshop; Body-Centered Poetics; Art and Seriation Processes; and Topics in Sculpture; or equivalent subjects. Finally, the collected data were analyzed and reflected upon based on the theoretical framework and a curatorial perspective as a student and undergraduate.
