Create, Express, Recognize

The creative process consists of three steps:

1. Create
2. Express
3. Recognize

Create: It starts with an idea, a creative flow, an inspiration, a thought, a concern, a "what if".

Express: Then, that idea is expressed through whatever means, be it, art, music, film, painting, acting, mime, writing, sculpting...whatever. The creative idea is expressed. It takes form. It's shaped, molded, captured, let out. It's put into a form to be shared with the outside world.

Recognize: Finally, it's viewed. Others get to see the creation. Does it communicate the emotion, the feeling, the passion you created to communicate? Are others moved to tears, to laughter, to decision through your creation. The challenge of any artist is this--does to convey exactly what you intended it to convey?
