In this thesis that was written by Jacqueline Henson-Dacey with titled High
School Visual Art Students Perception of Creativity. According to Chua (2016), a
research problem should be practical, important, stating, the research target and
main variables and it should be stated clearly and precisely. In this chapter 1,
researcher more introduced about the perception of creativity. It focused on two main
elements such as a students description and perception of creativity and whether or
not they experienced a flow state. In the research problem, the researcher has
stated some issues that are related to study.
There are have too much theories that have been stated by researcher. In this
theory is about participant perception of creativity. For example in problem
statement, Csikszentmihalyis (1990) theory of flow is being proposed to advance a
theory for creativity. In this theory, the investigation was conducted to test this theory
on the experience level of the students' creativity. Without self-actualization students
would not actively reflect on their own creative potential.
The purpose of this study was to describe teenage art students perceptions
of their own creative experience, by analysing students descriptions of creativity
revealing a flow state. Next to explore whether a flow state was apparent during the
creative process for the Advanced Placement Studio Art students. According to
Prabhu, Sutton, & Sauser (2008) established through empirical research that
creativity is evident in every field of study and the research associated with creativity

transcended all boundaries in the educational arena. In this thesis, there are not
stated about main objective and it just focus the purpose of this study.
The researchers also obtained information from the past research studies, the
various theories related to the topic of research. From what I have read in chapter 2,
the researcher did a good literature review. It is because in this chapter, she is doing
very detailed with regard to the perception of creativity. For example, according to
Byrge and Hansen (2009) discuss the importance inherent in creativity as a separate
discipline. They said that research and creativity have been described as the most
important human functioning and is associated with cognition. So from that I can see
that researcher is able to compare theories from various experts to be used in her
study and also has explained the topic variables in this research. According to
Harding (2010) creativity is an aspect that can lead to inspiration in creativity. For
him, creativity is something of a mystery at all times and very complex. To think
creative, more imaginative and someone is more likely to generate and unique
alternative solution too many complex challenges facing our world today. So the tone

In this research, the researcher has stated that she used three traditional
paradigms that have emerged as potential research strategies to address teenage
creativity. These are quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Quantitative and
qualitative can appear to be exact opposites; however they represent two different
ends of a continuum (Creswell, 2009, p. 3). Quantitative research focuses on testing
hypotheses to examine predictions whereas qualitative research focuses on
interpreting social interactions. The mixed methods paradigm draws on both of the
other two traditions, mixing qualitative and quantitative approaches as needed. So,
her use qualitative research to discuss with participates about their experiences with
creativity. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research study was to
examine and to fill this existing gap in art education. According to Chua (2016)
quantitative or qualitative, it is a systematic discipline which is conducted to seek
answers to problems or questions.

Data collection that is used by the researcher based on three interviews for
three participants. The first interview was based on semistructured questions derived
from research in creativity and flow theory. For the second interview is using Think
Aloud technique where individuals are provided with an opportunity to say whatever
is on their minds while creating their artworks as a way to describe their creative
process. And for the third interview in this series was designed to focus on the
understanding of individualized experiences. So in my opinion, this way is very the
best because she used with different methods to interview the participant, so it can
show a different perception of creativity based on their perceptions.
