Abstract
Chapter 9 of Communicating Creativity: The Discursive Facilitation of Creative Activity in Arts focuses on the relationship between the world of the academy and the professional world. It argues that the effects of the categorisation and identity work carried out in the university art and design studio become structured in the personal dispositions of the students and is inevitably reproduced in their future creative (inter)actions and professional practices. The chapter examines how the discourses found in the university art and design studio are manifest in the practices of a professional artist and a professional designer.

Notes

Of relevance is Luke’s comment in Extract 9.12 that he is always aware of the language that people use (line 3), and his comment in Extract 9.13 that the dealer represents his work in a verbal manner (line 10). Here again is evidence of the centrality of language to the production and reception of what is essentially a visual artifact.
