PRELUDE
Appreciating art is not an exclusive talent but more of
a participative, open pursuit to look for what is
beautiful in the eyes and in the hearts. Arts reflect the
ideals, the realities, and the tangible expressions of an
artist, of a culture, of a nation. Ergo, if one
appreciates something beautiful, she just perceived it,
but if she values it, she proves the truth that art, along
with its story and aesthetics, lives on forever.

1. Inspiration
For those who are creative, inspiration can be found almost
anywhere, whether in nature, people, or even a life experience.
It's amusing how inspiration may come at any time, even in the
wee hours. Something may inspire you when you least expect it,
generating that "creative" moment in which you know you have to
throw it around in your head and figure out how to convey it.

2. Percolation
Although it may not be the most desirable phase of the creative
process, the "percolation" period is essential to the creation of
art. Essentially, this is the time that transpires once you have
an idea however before you begin making art. It can manifest
itself in a variety of ways.
Often this entails sketching down your thoughts or experimenting
with them graphically. Other times, it's simply a matter of
enabling an idea to develop. Sometimes you have an idea for a
piece of art years before you make it. It doesn't mean you've
been reclining on your achievements that entire time. There is a
part of you that is constantly processing and improving your
concept.

3. Preparation
Preparation is often confused with "percolation," although it is
a more active and focused process. You've decided on your
inspiration and how to continue. It was now up to us to find a
way to make it happen. The preparation consists of collecting and
organizing your materials, as well as sketching out a plan for
your artwork. Making roughs or producing a demonstration outline
for a piece of work could be an example of this.

4. Creation
Creation is the stage in which you seem to be firmly on your
course. You've put it into practice and brush to canvas. The
process of creation can vary based on your disposition, artistic
style, and medium. For some, the creative stage is usually
relatively brief, with much of the work completed in preceding
stages — for example, a simple line drawing. While the artwork
may only take a few minutes to create, the thinking and time
spent developing that idea was the most time-consuming portion of
the process.

5. Reflection
It's normal to experience tiredness, happiness, relief,
productivity, or even a little depression. After you complete a
piece of art, you may experience a brief burst of activity, such
as presenting it with family and friends, giving it to a client,
or hanging it on the wall. However, regardless of where the art
ends up, its creation frequently leads to a period of reflection.
The reality is that everyone's creative process is unique because
that is what makes each artist unique in his or her own style.
Nobody thinks or imagines their creations in the same manner.
