Essential Questions

On your blog do some writing in response to the essential questions for the course: How do artists develop content and ideas for their work? What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?

Artists develop content and ideas for their work by observing the world around them and using experiences that they have had as inspiration. They can also use stories or experiences other people have had as inspiration. The best artwork has a subject that is meaningful to the artist.
Techniques they use to make their ideas into meaningful works of art include portraying their idea in a creative way that allows the viewer to understand precisely what the artist is trying to show.
