Welcome to Creative Talk by Inventiva Works!

Are you a creative mind curious about how other artists develop a concept and create an artistic project?

Are you interested in connecting with other creatives, learning their shortcuts, tips, and inspiration from their work? 

 

If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, welcome! You are on the right blog. 

Creative Talk by Inventiva Works is a blog devoted to discussing the creative process for visual artists and designers, as well as any reflections, challenges and solutions to make the creative process enjoyable and art-making profitable for the artist.

Hi there! My name is Monica Cliff, and I am the creative mind behind Inventiva Works. As an artist, I am always curious about the creative process of other artists. I find the practice of arriving at a brilliant concept fascinating, and the journey to get there tends to be full of excitement, and sometimes drama. Often before coming to the genius concept, our brain is full of questions and doubts, and that’s part of what I want us to explore in this blog: the story behind each creative process.

Creativity plays a role when we want to translate our ideas from the paper or the computer to the physical world. This is especially true for performing arts, so analyzing what practical decisions artists make to make an idea happen under budget and under pressure is very interesting.

 Creativity in Action

 In this blog, I want to share my own creative process and professional experience. We will explore the exciting part of being an artist and the most common challenges artists tend to face and overcome.

Some of the forms of art we will explore are:

  • Drawing, Painting, and Illustrations

  • Performance Arts: Set, Costumes, Props Design

  • Puppetry

We will examine what creativity is and what you can do to exercise your creative brain and maximize your artistic production.

The joy of the creative process, minute by minute, hour after hour, day by day, is the sublime path to true happiness.
— George Lois

 One of the goals for this blog is to connect with other artists and to share our creative experiences. I find that I learn something new each time a fellow artist shares their creative process with me. I will be featuring artists from around the globe to learn about their artistic process and how have they figured out some challenges. 

So make yourself at home and feel free to reach out with any comments, questions or feedback!

 

Curiosity is a positive trait to have as an artist!
