Often, people simply look at a piece of art or listen to a song or watch a film, and then they move on. Most don’t ask what went into the work or how it came to be; it just is. However, even art has a beginning and a process and a life. In the documentary, we explore the creative process of various artists and how their art comes to be, from first thought to the final product. Like the world of art, the Michigan artists in the film are quite diverse: a glass blower, a fiber artist, a painter and a scrap artist. Following each as they brainstorm, mold, and reveal their final product, the documentary hopes to shed light on a variety of artistic creative processes, as well as show art goes beyond just the end product.

 

     Even more startling is that this documentary on the creative process is a work of art itself. Grown from the minds of Michigan State students who gathered various artists of diverse backgrounds and disciplines, the film is considered organic and inspirational. It can even be viewed as its own showcase of the creative process. The hopes for the film are simple: to reveal the beautiful and wondrous creative process, to inspire people to look beyond the art hanging on the wall, and to reveal the art of art.
