Artistic fact and research-creation: guidelines for a methodology in visual arts

Abstract

The article addresses the artistic fact as a multifaceted process that involves creation, experimentation and expression within the scope of research-creation. The problem identified is the need to articulate a methodology, from the artistic practice, that influences the development of new knowledge and forms of expression from the artistic fact. The objective of the study is to propose a methodology for the artistic fact that combines theoretical reflection with practical experimentation and that allows a better understanding of its impact on artistic creation by exploring new ideas and developing critical thinking. Various research methods are used, such as analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, holistic-dialectical, hermeneutic, documentary analysis and participant observation in artistic activities. Through them, the different stages of the creative process are identified, from the conception of the idea to its materialization in a final work of art. The article demonstrates the importance of experimentation and expression in the creative process, as well as the influence of factors such as the socio-cultural context and the artist’s personal experiences in the generation of new forms of artistic knowledge. It is concluded that the artistic fact is a complex and dynamic process that requires an interdisciplinary methodology for its study and understanding in the context of research-creation.
