Abstract: Creative work presented features two artistic processes: experimental animation via 16mm and digital film montage, and figurative abstraction using mixed media drawing techniques. Research presented includes an investigation of the "Process Art" movement and the stages of creativity in children. Process Art is a contemporary artistic movement that began in the 1960s, and emphasizes the practice of “making” and the act of artistic creation rather than the plan or end product. Similarly, children learn through process-oriented activities involving exploration, play, and flexibility - problem solving through direct involvement with materials and processes. Through “making” art, one can learn that problems can have multiple solutions and that questions can have multiple answers. Process-oriented directions help redefine a problem, and may lead to new, innovative responses and solutions, allowing one to approach creativity outside the lines.
