Intro

• Design means to plan, organize but it also is a visual organization
• Creative Problem Solving – there are no predetermined answers to problems because with art, everyone has different interpretations

Procedures

• Art as communication
• Artists express and share ideas more with pictures than words and the viewers can have a visual response

Thinking

• Thinking about the problem – meaning what the goal is and aspects of who the audience is
• Thinking about the solution – first step is to sketch a visual answer and to find symbols/correlations

Looking

• Observation matters
• A source is key to draw inspiration for an idea but there is a distinction from a source to a subject
• Depending on location and environment, artists see things differently

Doing

• Visual experimentation with the materials, trial and error, part where the idea is happening
• Arrange and rearrange, doing and redoing, the process takes time but revision is important

Critique

• Hearing inputs and thoughts from different creators
• To hear the good and bad and to take in constructive criticism
