Essential Questions
How do artists develop content and ideas for their work?
In the past, artists have developed ideas for their work through social revolutions and political turmoil that was happening around them. This definitely holds true for today, but many artists are able to find and develop ideas using the internet, because it is such a unique resource. Artists can also develop ideas through their own personal experiences, and their surroundings.
What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?
Artists can use a variety of techniques to turn their ideas into engaging works of art. One of the more "out there" artists I think, is Andy Warhol who used silkscreens of photos and painted them ridiculous colors. There are many other ways to engage one's audience including color, size, content, the addition of words, and movement in a painting/piece of 2D art.
