Process Question

How does process affect the final product?

Looking at the artists and their works above, how do you think process affects the final product? We chose a few really thought provoking artists to help get you thinking about the concept. You can find a lot of resources about the artists by accessing youtube or even wikipedia. A lot of times the actual process can be overlooked when it’s actually such an important component. We've included a few good links for the artists, too.

It's harder than I thought to comment on everyone's project when there are groups. I feel like I am the "Repetition Lady" from Mission Hill.
Anyway, I think the process is more important on some projects, and the outcome is more important on other projects. When I have a commissioned portrait to get done, I think it is the outcome that matters most, because, to me, drawing comes so naturally and fast that I breeze through it, but the outcome is so important, because, if my client is not happy, I wont get paid and can't eat that week. When I am doing an expressive piece for school, the process is more important. This school seems more focused on the process. Ultimately, I want to make everyone else happy, so if they want to see the process, great, but if they just want the finished piece, well, that's cool, too. I think everything depends on the individual situation.
