Q Introduction As you begin studying and observing different pieces of art, it is important to practice putting your reactions to the art into words. With this first journal reflection, focus on what you gravitate toward and what thoughts and feeling rise within you as you study this art. Then find descriptive words to write it down within your journal. Unit Learning Outcomes • Define the creative process and describe the roles that artists most often assume when they engage in that process.

Why is that thing important? Please explain as clearly as you can. 2. Include a specific artwork example and explain as clearly as you can how it shows the quality you wrote about in question 1.
