INTRODUCTION
Artists typically don't use the word "innovation" to characterize their work, because
innovation implies the instrumentalization of these multiple forms of consciousness to
achieve a specific goal. Instead, they discuss creativity, which denotes a more open-
ended discussion that is process-oriented rather than goal-oriented. The goal of art
schools is to create a secure environment where this unbounded creative process can
take place. The objective is to provide an experimental setting where failure is inevitable
and risk is expected, much like in a scientific setting.
There is a growing understanding that artists are also natural problem solvers who
can contribute to any discussions on how to handle the world's complicated problems.
The ability of many artists to live in the present while interpreting the indications of the
future has led curators to conclude that many of them are already attempting to address
global issues with novel answers—their types of solutions.
Global issues that require urgent attention include economic inequality, migration,
climate change, aging populations, and food security. None of these issues can be solved
by any discipline. Additionally, because of these problems' interconnectedness and global
scope, the remedies must have an entirely fresh appearance and feel. Artists are
particularly skilled at this kind of bold and imaginative problem-solving due to their affinity
for unconventional methods and distinctive forms of representation. They are more
frequently acknowledged in these discussions and, as always, can contribute to the
advancement of consciousness.
Soul-making
Soul-making plays a significant role in the creation of art since it is a way of telling
tales, turning fleeting moments into images, creating symbols that people can relate to,
understanding different cultures, and evoking tolerance, peace, and imagination. In the
process of creating a soul, the question of "who are you" serves as a compass.
Making art is a productive and enjoyable way for people to express themselves
and learn a variety of topics and abilities. Students learn about the tools and methods
utilized by architects and painters while creating art, as well as the methods of decision-
making that artists throughout history have employed. Developing studio skills and a
completely developed final product are the main priorities for some art educators, while
others place more emphasis on the creative process and inquiry via art. Pupils that are
motivated to hone their trade can go on to become amateur or professional artists.
A person's sense of purpose in what they are doing is enhanced by art. The
process of producing such expression is essential for fostering personal cultural
development because all art is a representation of one's perceptions, feelings, emotions,
and reality. Every human experience is used in soul-making to create an influence that
can help the artist and others grow. A person's sense of purpose in what they are doing

Categories of Soul Making
1. Crafting Images - creating visual representations of photographs can be done
using any artistic medium, such as drawing, sketching, and sculpture, as well as
dancing, writing poetry, playing an instrument, or shooting a film.
2. Crafting Stories – writing down one's own opinions, life principles, intense
emotions, thoughts, ideals, and even high and negative feelings is storytelling on
the part of the individual. Many techniques, such as vivid images, soothing music,
and potent phrases, might be used to depict these stories.
3. Crafting Instruments – people can investigate the mystique of music and its
singular effect on the spirit thanks to instruments, which operate as a bridge to the
unknown. Also, they support the soul's equilibrium and harmonic sustenance.
4. Crafting Movements – the many rhythms, ebbs, and flows of life represent how
the universe allows each person to have the opportunity to experience both highs
and lows. This movement pattern serves as inspiration for painters.
5. Crafting Techniques – soul-making is a methodical technique to infinite creative
expression that reflects the artist's life and experiences.
Phases of Soul Making
1. Seeking – finding or seeking is the initial step, and it's an important stage in our
development as soul builders. In order to live in the world, make sense of it, and
mend the wounds of "self," we are seeking a discipline or approach. If we search
methodically, we can discover that various methods and tools can be combined,
allowing us to settle and proceed to a method or group of methods that satisfies
our creativity and desire.
2. Settling – the first stage in soul development is looking for or discovering a
discipline or process that can assist us in understanding the outside world and
healing our own personal traumas. These tools and activities can be arranged in
a way that allows us to settle down and go to a practice—or group of practices—
that satisfies our creativity and enthusiasm if we search for them methodically.
3. Surrender – writing one's own beliefs, life principles, feelings, thoughts, and
aspirations down while employing techniques like vivid imagery, calming music,
and impactful sentences is a sort of storytelling.
4. Soul making – the fourth stage of the settling and surrender dual polarities is the
transition from reflective practice to soul making, which requires us to care and
nurture others and the world. Throughout life, we must face the psyche's appeal
for submission.
5. Soaring – everyone wants to fly, yet none of us can build a psychological
spaceship or airplane on our own. By allowing ourselves to progress through the
stages of soul-making, we may accomplish this.
Appropriation
Since the beginning of time, people have frequently appropriated works of art, but
some have gone too far and claimed ownership of another person's identical copy of the
work. When the artist of appropriation takes little fragments of other works and combines
them into their own work, this raises issues with authorship in particular. Aside from that,
the voices and perspectives of the other artists are lost when appropriation artists avoid
taking responsibility for merging the specifics of other works into their own.
Outright copies of preexisting works and pastiches, which borrow parts of a
previous work and merge them into a new one, are the two main categories of
appropriation and counterfeit art. Forgery may take the form of predicting what an artist
would create in the present. This can be done by analyzing the artist's methods, aesthetic,
and the focus areas he or she has chosen to emphasize in both earlier and more recent
works. Some appropriation artists claim that they want the audience to remember the
images they replicated and see a fresh perspective on the original work, though the
motivations of these individuals are occasionally questioned.
Types of Appropriation
1. Object Appropriation – material appropriation is the transfer of tangible objects
from one culture to another. Examples include the removal of decorations from the
Parthenon by Lord Elgin and the transfer of a totem pole from a Haida village to a
museum.
2. Content Appropriation – reproducing intangible works of art created by another
culture is referred to as non-material appropriation. A writer who adapts stories
created by a culture other than his own, as well as a musician who performs music
from another culture, have both engaged in non-material appropriation. Content
appropriation might have occurred when The Lettermen covered “Dahil Sa Iyo”.
3. Stylistic Appropriation – artists borrow from other cultures even when they do
not replicate their works. It is common to claim that white musicians who write jazz
or blues have engaged in appropriation, while it would be considered aesthetic
appropriation for white Australians to paint in the manner of indigenous peoples.
Filipinos dress similarly, with a coat and tie.
4. Motif Appropriation – this type of stylistic appropriation occurs when artists draw
inspiration from works of art from cultures different than their own without imitating
those styles themselves. African carving had an influence on Picasso, yet his
paintings do not have an African aesthetic. Ravel was influenced by jazz, yet his
works do not have a jazz aesthetic. These painters just stole fundamental concepts
or motifs, as opposed to appropriating a full style.
5. Subject Appropriation – Joseph Conrad's books include subject appropriation,
and P. W. Kinsella's tales about the Hobbema Indian reservation are examples of
offensive subject appropriation.
Improvisation
Today's arts are significant because improvisation is a reaction to the formal rigidity
of the arts and a cry for freedom from routine intended to rekindle people's creative spirits.
It is a choice to take action in response to something that wasn't necessarily anticipated
and has grown more significant in the current situation.
For some artists, adding spontaneity and improvisation contributes to the whole
piece of art. The improvised modifications' unpredictable nature gives the artwork a
special aspect that gives it its individuality and distinctiveness. Several artists agree with
the idea of giving possibilities a chance when creating the work. Artists could want to
capture the splendor of a meteor shower or the nighttime darkness brought on by an
approaching storm. Their reliance on opportunity may not always provide the desired
outcome because they do not necessarily have complete control over natural events.
When performers are encouraged to improvise, the results are frequently quite different.
7 Da Vincian Principle
1. Curiosita - a life-long pursuit of knowledge and an insatiable curiosity can lead to
great thinkers and leaders solving the mysteries of existence. There
1.1 What if - ask your brain to make future projections to help you make
connections, see possibilities, and become more goal-oriented.
1.2 How come - every moment of his life, Da Vinci utilized the question
"how come" to question both his own behavior and other people's
motives.
2. Dimonstrazione – a dedication to putting information to the test via experience,
perseverance, and the readiness to learn from past errors. This is essentially the
scientific method in action in daily life.
2.1 Test every idea

2.3 Experience life first hand
3. Sensazione – due to the ongoing need to hone our senses in order to enrich our
experiences and be aware of our surroundings, active listening is a crucial
component of the scientific method in business. In business, we tend to merely
listen passively and ignore important information that could serve as the seed for
fresh concepts.

3.2 For taste
3.3 For sight
3.4 For hearing
4. Sfumato – Da Vinci had a unique ability to understand paradox, confusion, and
confusion, and to investigate and relish the mystery of unknowns. Most of us avoid
questions that are unknown or unanswerable due to our discomfort.
