The final project that has been made "The Pooh, Piglet &
Kilroy were here" (146 x 194cm) is an art textile to be exhibited later.
The object of the work has been to understand the makerīs own experiences
and feelings in the creative process and to yield knowledge and material to
improve the competence as a teacher. The intention was to throw oneself
heuristically into the creative process of the work and to analyze it in a
maker-centric and process-centric way to provide information through
experiences and feelings, searching and discovering.
The creative process of designing has been described and analyzed. The
material consists of sketches, the contents of a notebook, personal
experiences and describing the makerīs own affective thoughts during the
process. A content analysis has been going on throughout the creative
process in connection with valuations by reflecting the own process to
existing theoritical knowledge.
Theoretical knowledge has been used as a means of analysis, trying to
explain and understand both the choice of subject of the textile and the
method in which it was designed. The content analysis has been used to find
out and comprehend the factors behind the subjective ideas and to explain
their meanings and influences.
After learning to know better the own designing process, the target was to
search information on the processes of creative expression from the point
of view of intuition. The strong recurrent features in makerīs own
subjective creative process were evaluation and choice which influenced the
development of the subject during the process. As the result of the
examination of the working, the process of designing showed itself clearly
as a soft system that has been described according to Checkland's soft
systems methodology. |
