RESEARCH SUMMARY
RESEARCH SUMMARY
Written Responses by Design Students and Alunmi
Research methods
Three surveys (Students, Industry workers, and Parents), four interviews with artists from different fields, two ethnographies (dance studio, and design workroom), and a visual analysis through social media.
Research findings
Creative artists feel like they lack the understanding of the process of creating and what it’s like ‘behind-the-scenes.’
Passion for these fields begins at an early age, but over time, burnout and imposter syndrome increase.
The environments where artists create display the contrast of hard work and having fun.
AI consumption raises concerns; however, confidence that AI will become ‘outdated’.
