Having a comfortable place to create is an opportunity to unwind and bring your imagination to life, especially at the end of a long day. Daydreams of far off places, which had to be put to the side during classroom and homework time, can come to life once an artist arrives at the studio with materials available to use.
Expressing thoughts and feelings through words can sometimes be a difficult task, but communicating with an image is a more flexible form of communication. Drawing circles, lines, and shapes often leads to an artist see more specific details that emerge slowly. A story takes shape and is created more purposefully then, as memories and attributes are connected to those images.
Staying focused on the creative process allows for an artist to more adequately express any ideas, feelings, or personal meanings that come to mind. An artist can gradually come to the realization that some of these ideas and feelings are more important than others, and continue to connect meanings from imagination with the creations they are making in real life.
Final pieces are hung and stories emerge. The creators of the artworks explain their initial thoughts when starting the piece and final expressions that they would like for the viewer & listener to take with them. These thoughts and feelings that evolve with an artwork, from the beginning to the end of the creative process, are important to acknowledge, whether it is privately or publicly. The intent of every artist is different and the process can be very personal or worthy of being shared with others.
