Creative Process

What I learned about the creative process...

when making a choreography, you are never done. There are just so many times when I swore to myself that I loved my dances, and that I would be done but as I practiced I thought of different variations to incorporate, and extra turn to add,  or found a new beat that I needed to hit in the dance. It takes a lot for a dancer to stop thinking about how to improve a dance even when they already like it. Setting a schedule on when I would stop changing the choreography was necessary or else this project would've never came to fruition.

Now when it came to filming, the editing process was definitely a major hurdle. I have edited before but never in full screen, movie style. Small visual cues took  so long to do at first and the learning crave was difficult, so I had to play to my strengths and toss aside some of my ideas due my lack of experiences and instead I focused on perfecting what I had some knowledge about and researched techniques that I could use. 

Directions:  This page should include an image specific to your project and a reflection on what you have learned about your creative process.  This section should demonstrate your knowledge of research and techniques discussed in CPSA250 and how you have applied them to understand and adjust your creative process.  Your reflection should describe at least one, specific concept that we have discussed in CPSA250 this semester (e.g. research on creativity, time management, Wallace's 4-step model, etc.) and how you have applied that concept in your creative work.  The creative process reflection should be 150-300 words and include at least one citation from course materials. 

In addition to your creative process reflection, you can add a new section where you share additional information (summary, images, etc.) on your artistic techniques or research methods.

You are encouraged to modify the design of this section as a way of further curating your capstone exhibition.
