ABSTRACT

This introduction is about understanding why an artist chooses to create. The pandemic took so much away from artists, which forced many to look inside and re-establish their place in the industry. In order to take the next steps, one must ask themselves, “Why?” which will inform their actions. This chapter includes the tangible ways one can begin to formulate a sentence that serves as a motivation for each individual artist and is concluded with the exercise The Pressure Cooker.
