subject matter the work depicts.

literal statement or narrative
content in the work that can be
directly apprehended because
the objects presented are easily
recognized.

THE CREATIVE
PROCESS
Based on Robert Fritz’s book, he
enumerated the steps in creative
process, and said that creating is a
skill that can be learned and
developed. We learn by practice and
hands-on experience; we can learn
create by creating.
1. Conceive the result you want to
create.
2. Know what currently exists.
3. Take action.
4. Develop your creativity.
5. Learn the rhythms of the creative
process.
Germination (Idea) – the
initial
moment when you conceive a
new project in your life.
Assimilation – a crucial step in
creative process. You will internalize
and assimilate or incorporate the idea
you want to create. Plan, analyze it,

THREE STAGES IN ART
MAKING
Art making can be associated with
art exploration, concept
development, and art production.
In creative process, the artist
undergoes three stages of
experience:
1. Pre-production or subject
development – ends when the
planning ends; the content production
starts
2. Production or medium manipulation
– a method of combining diverse material
inputs and unimportant inputs (plans,
know-how) to make something for
consumption (output). The act of creating
output, may be a good or service that
significantly contributes to the utility of
individuals.
3. Post-production (completion) or
exhibition – once finished, the artwork
will be displayed, circulated, and
performed for the audience and public to
see or watch.
 MEDIUM
AND
TECHNIQUE
Medium – the materials that are used by
an artist to create a work of art. Plural is
media. Without this, the idea of an artist
remains a concept, or it would just dwell
in the artist’s imagination.
Technique – the artist’s ability and
knowledge or technical know-how in
manipulating the medium. The manner by
which the artist controls the medium to
achieve the desired effect; it is in the
technique that artists differ from one
another.
