In some creative domains, it is easy to make performance visible. For example, musician can be observed while they perform. In other domains, such as sculpting, less is known about the creation process. The objective of the present study was to analyze how professional artists and students in sculpting differ in their perception and in their creation processes as well as how perception and creation processes are related to each other. Ten experts, 10 intermediates, and 10 novices participated. First, participants’ eye movements while looking at a stimulus were recorded with a remote eye-tracker. Second, they explained which elements of the stimulus were of particular interest for creating a sculpture. Third, they had to create their own sculpture. Finally, questions were asked about their creation processes. The results showed differences between the three groups regarding the start-up period, use of the stimulus, working process, reflection of problems, and final sculptures.

在某些创意领域，很容易使性能可见。例如，音乐家在表演时可以被观察到。在其他领域，例如雕刻，人们对创建过程的了解较少。本研究的目的是分析雕塑专业艺术家和学生在感知和创作过程上的差异，以及感知和创作过程之间的相互关系。十位专家，十位中间人和十位新手参加了会议。首先，使用远程眼动仪记录参与者在观看刺激时的眼球运动。其次，他们解释了刺激的哪些元素对于创造雕塑特别感兴趣。第三，他们必须创造自己的雕塑。最后，询问有关其创建过程的问题。
