Shoulda, coulda, woulda\u2026 However, does an artist have a plan when they begin a work? I\u2019d say so. Even not having a plan is a plan. It\u2019s a deliberate choice that one makes. Then there is the question of whether an artist should use a device? What is a device anyhow? Check out my vlog here for an insider\u2019s look into the process of \u201cmaking a plan\u201d for the creative works that I produce. A start to it begins with zeros and ones, squares of light and color that reconfigure images in a way that compels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARTStuff Studio Vlog 4 : Looks Like a Plan\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZGqcLoZtnRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I make both manual hand-drawn sketches and digital sketches in preparation for making new work. Each type of sketch functions in a different way. The drawings in my sketchbook are produced at the earliest stages of figuring out what is to come next in my work. I use them as a means to take in my surroundings without bias or critical direction for the work. I let the place\/thing inform me as I observe it. I make many drawings compiled in a sketchbook, which leads me to more specific concepts and imagery that I wish to more pointedly explore in my work. From there, I create digital sketches  which are a compilation of multiple images that I have selected from personal photographs of experiences that I have explored in the drawings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Sketches.
