Up: [[Expressive Art]]
Course: The Art of Storytelling with Kaitlin Staples Vigo for Washington Jung Society
Any art form that you continue over a period of time is a process piece.
A process piece can have extensions, as well as layers, as long as it’s the same body of work. So can do a triptych or whatever you wish.
It’s done when you say it’s done.
Some of the questions will be rhetorical or will just serve as thought prompts. Some will provide clarity and others may not apply.
Compile your findings from the questions and see if there’s a more coherent narrative to be told. If not, see if there’s maybe a message.
- What stands out to me about my artwork?
- What am I happy with?
- What am I repulsed by?
- What gives me pause?
- What inspires me?
- What creates curiosity in me?
- Where did this artwork begin?
- What is it asking of me?
- What has it been asking of me?
- Where did this artwork face challenges? (Can include materials, lack of inspiration, boredom, dissatisfaction, judgement, strong difficult feeling etc.)
- Where did it excite me?
- When did it start to gel or click?
- Where does it want to go next?
- Was there a main character in the piece?
- Was there a hero/heroine?
- Was there a villain/demon/dragon?
- Was there a wise soul?
