In November 2010, I went to a trip with my school which I have to describe as an invaluable opportunity. We had four internationally renowned practitioners explaining their life and works and below are my notes from the talks. It was aimed at A-level students, although I feel it is relevant and a great help in starting my current project. This is because it deals with gathering personal interest and obsessions in order to achieve an idea until the point of getting it across to an audience. I believe everyone’s process may be different but the same formula being applied for all the works created by a single individual. The Creative Process is the true magic in all creation of artworks.
