Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum.   You can’t start at step 1, then go to step 5, and skip the rest.
I also don’t recommend focusing too much on one stage and not the others. Everything exists in balance.    

1. Start with an idea.
2. Visualize the form your idea will take.
3. Pick the idiom - the expression of your idea realized.
4. Create structure - create a process for creation.
5. Apply craft - build it.
6. Surface - create a great first impression. If you apply these steps, you’ll create a work that inspires a response from a grateful audience.  Art requires a response from those you seek to serve. Those you seek to serve want to come alive. Serve the others by creating better art. Follow the process.   Come alive
