Art making

 In art making, the artist undergoes three stages of experience which are
popularly known as pre-production or subject development, production or
medium manipulation and post-production or exhibition.
 In theater or performing arts, pre-production involves the following: conceptualization of
the theme, writing the script, making the auditions for cast selection or assigning of roles
and workshops.
  Production refers to the proper presentation of performing arts.
  Post-production, evaluation, critiquing, 'success' press release, sending thank you
messages and letters are done.
 Art making can be done collaboratively or individually.
  Pro-active interaction occurs when an artist hires other artists and follow the dictates of
the one contracting the project.
  Passive interaction occurs when an artist does the concept development alone and would
hire artists or artisans to actually develop, manipulate and execute the concept.
Medium and technique

 Medium refers to the material used by the artist.

  Without the medium, an idea remains a concept or it would jest reside in the walls of
your imagination.
  Technique refers to the artist's ability and knowledge or technical know-how in
manipulating the medium. The technique is the manner in which the artist controls the
medium to achieve a desired effect.
