| Summary: | <p>This paper analyzes troubles detected during the early stages of research projects conducted by postgraduate junior researchers in the field of Fine Arts. Due to the effort involved in delimiting, defining and developing the object to be analyzed, choosing the research topic appears to be one of the main problems. Our students are not familiar with the early stages of the research due to a restrictive understanding of the creation process. A fact that works against the specification and delimitation of the topic to be investigated, which is detrimental to the understanding of the critical capacity of artistic language as well as it hinders the systematization of their creative processes, among other questions. Their lack of experience causes the confrontation of the artistic creation and the theoretical research, and this prevents them to relate the themes of interest, and prompts these themes to remain detached from their creative concerns. The aim of this work is not only to clarify the development of these early stages of theoretical research but to make them understand that these issues are also addressed within the artistic creation process.</p> |
