Story Of Creative Process Making Practice Public
=====================================================
As I sit here reflecting on my personal creative process during my recent sabbatical, I am reminded of the importance of making my practice visible to others. For many artists and creatives, this can be a daunting task, especially when they are still in the midst of developing their skills and building their portfolio. However, as I began documenting my artistic journey through a visual story, I discovered that sharing my creative process with the world has not only helped me grow as an artist but also provided valuable insights for others.
The idea struck me after years of working on individual projects, each one a personal reflection of my interests and passions. As a writer and educator, I wanted to create a narrative that would take readers through my thought process, from initial ideas to final drafts. Using a combination of photographs, sketches, and written descriptions, I crafted a visual story that not only showcased my creative journey but also provided valuable lessons for those interested in following their own artistic paths.
Through this process, I found that making my practice public has been incredibly liberating. It allows me to connect with others who share similar interests and passions, and to learn from their experiences as well. By sharing my story, I have also gained a new level of confidence in my abilities, knowing that I am capable of producing work that resonates with others.
As an educator, I have been able to use this visual narrative to inform my teaching practices. By incorporating elements of creative process into my lessons, students are better equipped to navigate their own artistic journeys and develop the skills they need to succeed. Additionally, sharing my story has provided a valuable resource for creatives looking to learn more about the creative process and how to share their work with others.
In conclusion, making my personal creative process visible through a visual story has been a game-changer for me as an artist and educator. By sharing my journey with others, I have gained a new level of confidence and insight, and I am confident that it can do the same for those interested in following their own artistic paths.
