I think if intuition is left out of the plan then the end result can be flat.ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188791638739872773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-77532328523514819272016-08-12T13:30:31.137-04:002016-08-12T13:30:31.137-04:00For me creating and intuition go hand in hand. I ...For me creating and intuition go hand in hand. I love a process that allows room for the unexpected, and am constantly amazed that the "right" piece or image seems to show up at precisely the right time in the creation of a particular collage or mixed media piece. It sometimes feels almost like something outside of myself is directing the entire process. That said, I do frequently get to a point in the creation of a piece where I am aware that something is lacking, or that a new, very specific, direction is needed in order for the piece to be successful. At that point, some at least minimal planning comes into play. Often, for me, this takes the form of "stepping back" from a work--maybe even putting it out of sight for awhile--and coming back to it later with a fresh perspective. Intuition, however, for me is the key that begins and guides the entire creative process.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985968063880398033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-46237476958905084152016-08-12T06:21:09.751-04:002016-08-12T06:21:09.751-04:00I was trained as an illustrator so I started as a ...I was trained as an illustrator so I started as a planner, years later when I became an International Baccalaureate high school Art Teacher it all became about the process and listening to that little voice. We now have to write about the process so knowing how the Elements of Art and Principles of Design work seems to pull everything together. I seem to do a little of everything these days;)Karen The Adventuours Art Teacherhttp://karenmaggio.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-24855994438773842862016-08-12T03:21:38.178-04:002016-08-12T03:21:38.178-04:00I don't think I've ever been a planner, in...I don't think I've ever been a planner, in art or life.

Over the many years since, I have learned to let go of some of the control, allowing chance and intuition to play a part. Now I may start with an idea, but it rarely if ever turns out the way I thought it would. If I'm not happy with it, I keep going, maybe tearing parts off before adding more layers, until it satisfies me and I feel I've pushed beyond my boundaries. Far more than you wanted to know, I'm sure...
