what is process-based art?
during process-based art lessons,
we are engaged in the process itself of working with an idea,
making our own choices as creative thinkers,
exploring our materials, methods and techniques,
and building long-term confidence.
expressing our own self-interests while learning new skills together
is an integrated way of growing in our creative decision-making
- while having fun together in our environment.
there is no product or pre-determined correct outcome,
because process-based art is all about
learning to follow our own path as creative thinkers.
process-based skill sets build over time,
and each lesson has suggestions for how to work with a variety of processes.

because its presence sets in motion
the idea that there is eventual right or wrong outcome.
it hurts to think, "if mine isn't like this, I'm doing it wrong, and that feels bad."
we often do this, stopping before we even begin,
because we aren't sure about doing it right.
in process-based art,
instead of being told it is finished at a determined end point,
or that it is supposed to look a certain way to be done,
we learn to cultivate our own sense of completion
making critical thinking choices for ourselves.
it doesn't matter what the project looks like in the end.

as long as you made something, you did it right.
if you didn't, try again anytime.
if you enjoy making it, make it over and over in all kinds of different ways.
