Culmination

A5. Pen.

A few quick notes about something I've just realised whilst practicing my violin, studying anatomy and experimenting with colour...

I'll fill this out properly at some point soon:
- To create something (paint / drawing / perform) I need to be able to understand it at some level. To be able to 'get to know it' rather than see it as a wall of complexity. To create rather than copy or emulate.
- There is little point in guessing your way to a solution that seems right.
- The process of 'breaking down' the unknown into sections of thoughts or ideas which are simple and understandable can be achieved through a combination of theory, technique & experimentation.
- It is about having an approach to a solution, rather than a solution.
- To be able to isolate the unknown into its simplest form, master it and then reuse it.
- Saviour what is still unknown, for there is more pleasure to be had in the realisation. (Who is this all for anyway?)
- To be creative without feeling confusion or pressure.
- For the message to be well understood the expression should be effortless.

So. My Comment is this.

Creativity is the generation of new and inventive ways of breaking down phenomena. The excitement comes from the realisation. The fun is playing with the culmination.

Give me a few years and I'll articulate that properly...

(Please note; there is always a urgent need to throw all this away and 'muck around' at infinitum).
