video, film making and architecture. These definitions
should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines
(performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects
of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included
within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial
design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and
decorative art.

 The 3 Stages in the Creative Process
Robert Fritz, based on his book, enumerated the steps in the creative
process, and said that creating is a skill that can be learned and
developed. Like any other skill, we learn by practice and hands-on
experience – we can learn to create by creating. The Three Stages in
the Creative Process:

FIRST:
Germination (Idea)
- It is the initial moment when you conceive a new project in your
life.
 The 3 Stages in the Creative Process
SECOND:
Assimilation
- During this phase you will internalize and assimilate or
incorporate the idea you want to create.

Completion
- Completion is the time to finish your project, to give in the final
shape before you present it to the audience.
