The Creative Process

The creative process is different for everyone. To me James Webb Young's idea that there is a process to new thought and Ideas is incredibly stupid. I do admit that it is possible that people go through these steps. For me it is never like that. For me it changes depending on the issue I am faced with. If I need to create art i use a completely different set of rules than if I am trying to fix a broken lamp.
With art if have a process of either seeing an image that is aesthetically pleasing and then experimenting with that image. If to reach I have a goal to reach while making that art I simply throw that Idea into what looks good.
If i need to reach a goal like fixing something it really is step by step process like Young claims but most people don't do this.
1. What is the problem?
2. How do I fix?
3. What way uses the least amount of materials and time?
4. Is it worth my time?
Once all of these are considered  I will then do something but I understand that most people don't do this. that being said Young's process behind new ideas is incredibly misinformed.

My Idea for The DMA research project will be a collaboration between me and roommate. we will create a video that combines both of our fields by creating art with only light and it's manipulation. Jason and I need to research the best way to combine the design principals I have learned and the technical skill that he has learned. I am curious to see how it will turn out.
