Hey guys, I have to do an ethnography (study of a group or community of people) for my anthropology course, so I chose DA, as an online community.

I was wondering if I could get anyone who has some spare time to just answer the few questions, about life on D.A, below - it will really help with my assignment! I will use these answers to help compile my analysis and conclusions, so I will be using the user-names of anyone who helps, in the paper as reference. If you DON'T wish me to use your names, but you answer the questions, just say, and I will leave your name and specific answers out of the paper. Even if you don't want me to mention you, any answers I get will help me greatly!!

If you just want to copy and paste the questions into a reply or preferably a note to send me with the answers, I will be extremely grateful!

Unfortunately I have nothing to give, but I promise to do journal features for those who help me! It's not much, but it's all I can do

Here are the questions - with the multiple choice, just delete the ones that you don't choose:


1) How did you first hear about D.A?

2) what appealed to you about the community?

3) How do you feel you've gotten on in the community?

4) How often do you go on D.A?

5) Do you tend to stick to one type of art, or are your favourites random and varied?

6) Is there any relation between the art of the people you watch and the type of art you submit?

7) Pick between 4 aspects of D.A that you enjoy/value the most:

(Viewing other people's art)

(Having people critique and comment on your artwork)

(The aspect of watch/be watched)

(Meeting new people)

(Discovering new forms and genres of art that you didn't previously know much about)

(Getting inspiration)

(The forums/chat)

(meeting like-minded artists for opportunities and collaboration)

(The competitions)


8) If you had a particular goal on D.A, what would it be? Pick no more than 2.

(To submit a certain number of pieces of art in a certain time)

(To get a certain number of page-views)

(To get a certain number of watchers)

(To submit/sell a print)

(To get a Daily Deviation)

(To win a competition)


9) On average, how often do you watch someone back who watches you? Give a little detail to your answer, also talking a bit about why you do what you do, and your experiences with other people.

10)How often do you reply to comments on your page/artwork? Give a little detail to your answer, also talking a bit about why you do what you do, and your experiences with other people.





That's all of them, I really hope you can find it in your hearts to help me!

I shall also be putting this up on my other account, so If you see it up elsewhere, don't think it's a hoax!!
