Essential Questions

How do artists develop content and ideas for their work?


Artists develop content for their work by taking ideas and aspects in everyday life and transforming it into art. Content and ideas or inspiration can be found just about anywhere. Using one idea and stringing ideas to that, such as taking a general idea of "youth" and breaking it down to a "jungle gym" is what helps objectify work.


What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?

Techniques and behaviors and habits such as creating questions within the art work engage the viewer more so than a straight forward painting. There are reasons for ever color and marking on the paper, which relates to the main idea as a whole. It is important to pay close detail to these things so the viewer can put their own story into art.
