Essential Questions

How do artists develop content and ideas for their work?

A lot of art comes from self and personal experience. People create art of what they know and what they want to know, whether that is a feeling, an event, or a person. Personally, I like to take channel my emotions through my art.



What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?
Webs, planning sketches, gesture drawings, the first layer of pencil in a drawing are important ways of testing ideas to see if they are appealing. Getting opinions from fellow artists is also helpful. Ultimately I feel like art is not really about engaging the viewer, but expressing yourself as an artist.
