Blog Prompt #19
Analyze your creative process by answering the following questions.
- How do you ensure that your work is relevant to you?
- How do you ensure that your work is relevant to the contemporary world?
- How do you brainstorm? Do you sketch? Do you use the camera as a brainstorming tool so that you “look” at the world through the frame of the camera and capture bits and pieces of your environment?
- Do you combine elements of various media? How do you do this? Do you do it physically with printed images or objects? Do you combine elements virtually in the computer?
- How does your process relate to your ideas/concept? How does your process relate to your outcome/final pieces? Why are you using digital technology (if you are)? Why are you using analog technology (if you are)?
- How do you judge your work? When do you think it “works”? When do you think it is “not working yet”? What criteria do you use to make these decisions?
- How do ensure that your work is new, unique, ground-breaking, and/or you are breaking the mold/thinking outside the box/pushing the limits?
