The individual artist\u2014Alfred J. Casson, 1943<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Inasmuch as we have seen art as a community or collaborative effort, many artists work alone in studios, dedicated to the singular idea of creating art through their own expressive means and vision. In the creative process itself, there are usually many steps between an initial idea and the finished work of art. Artists will use sketches and preliminary drawings to get a more accurate image of what they want the finished work to look like. Even then they\u2019ll create more complex trial pieces before they ultimately decide on how it will look. <\/p>\n
