Planning before executing
a piece of artwork may seem to be the last thing that one thinks of when you
are about to do a piece. In fact most people just proceed to do it all in one
go or without any set parameters or boundaries. However I have found that I
have produced some of my best works of art after implementing some form of planning.
Sometimes I start with an image or a sentence or an idea but making a note of what
is going to be that spark of inspiration. Then after this collecting objects of
interest and images that tell the story I have in my head I begin to make
preliminary sketches. Depending on the subject of my inspiration I may do some
literary research and collect other images. At this point I do a final sketch
then begin on the final piece. This way of planning dose not necessary follow
in a concurrent order however this kind of collecting information and
inspiration allows me to work to archive my creative goal in a more efficient
way compared to not using any kind of preparation before I produce art work. For
example I was required to produce a painting 150”x 80” for a world aids day
event.
1. I got the theme of the event and wrote as the first point
2. I then sat down with the event coordinators and discuss with them the theme they had in more detail. I then wrote down points of key interest and any must haves that the client had
3. I then began to write down my own thoughts about the subject
4. I then began to collect images that spoke to the theme I was working on
5. Begin preliminary sketches of the painting
6. Began doing research on the subject and collected videos more images that spoke to the theme
7. Do final sketch and present to the client for before the final work begins
8. Start the final art work painting of 150”x 80”
9. Final work is approved by client.
At the end I had a very satisfied customer and work flow system that results in high standard work. It is an important toll that all artist should consider utilizing to take advantage of its benefits.

It is very important to plan before undertaking an assignment,artwork in specific. The importance of planning is to keep organised, ensure deadlines are met and time is managed properly.
