Polyhedron Network Model to Describe Creative Processes

摘要

This paper proposes a description of creative process as a combination of emotive thinking and explicit knowledge thinking. We analyze music composition process as a creative process. Specifically, we define five facets to describe the music composition process to capture different aspects of composition. A facet is a perspective to view the musical piece. The perspective is different for composers and performers. Two musical pieces composed by a professional composer are described using the proposed model and analyzed. Results indicate the existence of two types of decision makings.
