Does it needs its own field? Our studies in Finnish Academy of Fine Arts are not under the science of Philosophy (human science), they are finding the own status and place!

I am looking for references on evaluation methods for design and/or artistic artefacts that resulted from research through / by / for design or artistic research projects? Personal experience or reading suggestions are welcome!

I'm starting a qualitative research on actors self-learning. Focusing on the poiesis of the on-stage creating process. 

I'm looking for different methodical approaches on use of phenomenology for the artistic creation process.

I am looking for social science research which examines the definition(s) of folk art from the perspective of boundary theory.

I'm trying to remember the paper/author where it was stated that the use of a human computer interface in artistic performance was a particularly hard benchmark and that "performance spec" is even harder to meet than "military spec".

Can anybody help me out?

I have obtained two ratings (creativity and technicality) from six expert judges based on art-related outcomes. I am following Amabile's (1979) Consensual assessment technique to identify assess creativity. Research suggests that (ideally) ratings of creativity should not correlate with that of technicality in order to demonstrate discriminant validity (i.e. they are not measuring the same thing). Since the data collected is ordinal in nature, I have looked at Spearman's/ Kendall’s Tau correlations. However, I am concerned with the correlation and ICC approach as it does not capture paired differences (what I mean by paired here is same product two independent ratings). Correlations are also problematic given the very small sample size (8 ratings). Could anyone suggest what might be the best approach to identify where ratings for creativity and technicality differ (taking into account each rated product)? Thanks!

I'm currently looking for any studies/research linking creativity and bilingual/multilingual communication. Are bilingual/multilingual individuals more prone to creative initiative particularly within problem finding/solving?

I received a Faculty Research Grant to complete an "eARTh Painting" using soil from all 50 states as the paint medium. I still need more soil. If you are willing to participate in the process of gathering a sample please contact for further information. All postage is paid for ~ I just need collectors.
