through a series of ceramics projects.

Tracking my Chronological Process:
1. Assignment / Take notes
(assignments give me a DEADLINE which I need!)
2. Sketch out a bunch of ideas & choose one
3. Build a 3D model
4. Research on Google
(in this case, looking at candles)
5. Journal / Sketch for clarity
6. Gather Inspiration images
(from the sources I have been looking at and reading about for a while)
I hope this information inspires you to try something new, creative and maybe even track your own creative process. It has been enlightening for me.
