Abstract
Adapting the qualitative methodologies from Studying Students: The Undergraduate Research Project at the University of Rochester (Foster & Gibbons, 2007), the CalArts Student Behaviors and Habits (CASBAH) project undertook to learn holistically about the behaviors of art school students. Our research question was, “How do students in an artistic and nontraditional setting view and act on the process of discovery?” The CASBAH study utilized faculty interviews, student interviews, poster surveys, photo surveys, online surveys, and focus groups. We learned our students at CalArts expect to create their own individualized information-seeking paradigm, one that will not impose an external artistic perspective and may be nonlinear.
