Through Joyce's and Woolf's works, the nature of art and the role of the artist in society is a major concern for both writers. In A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man and To The Lighthouse, both writers form their ideas of the role of the artist in modern society through the characters of Stephen Daedalus and Lilly Briscoe respectively. Their aesthetics are compared and contrasted to each other as well as examined in how they hold up to the perspective of the artist in today's global society.

Questions in Aesthetics

January 2008

Nikolaos Gkogkas

Aesthetics is often taken to be, and often practised as, an informed examination of one’s response to given objects or ideas which are accepted as subject to such an examination. In other words, it is often the case that one is not concerned with the question of how or why such things or ideas trigger aesthetic responses in the first place. When turning, for example, to my local art gallery as ... [Show full abstract] the proprietor of my anticipated aesthetic pleasures, I do not generally question what it was in the first place that made me think of that gallery as the place where such pleasures are to be satisfied (if at all). Perhaps this is as it should be. After all, I do not need to be aware of the precise definition of ‘temperature’, for instance, in order to realize whether it is cold or hot. Similarly, a precise definition of what art is and where it is to be found may not be necessary for me in order to appreciate it whenever I come across it.

A snapshot of creativity: Evaluating a quick and simple method for assessing divergent thinking

August 2009 · Thinking Skills and Creativity

Creativity assessment commonly uses open-ended divergent thinking tasks. The typical methods for scoring these tasks (uniqueness scoring and subjective ratings) are time-intensive, however, so it is impractical for researchers to include divergent thinking as an ancillary construct. The present research evaluated snapshot scoring of divergent thinking tasks, in which the set of responses receives ... [Show full abstract] a single holistic rating. We compared snapshot scoring to top-two scoring, a time-intensive, detailed scoring method. A sample of college students (n=226) completed divergent thinking tasks and measures of personality and art expertise. Top-two scoring had larger effect sizes, but snapshot scoring performed well overall. Snapshot scoring thus appears promising as a quick and simple approach to assessing creativity.
