Q Introduction In this evaluation, we are starting to think about the context of the work, such as where you see it, when it was made, who it was made by and for what purpose, and the way the media it is made of have been used. We also think about the subject matter (the things portrayed in the work), if there is any, as well as how it has been portrayed. Why depict this, at this time, in this particular way? Why not something else? Unit Learning Outcomes • Define the creative process and describe the roles that artists most often assume when they engage in that process.
