To do art, we need a "process" -- and so we have to:  GO TO THE NET!!!

  "We don't have to go to the net;
   I just like saying that".
       -- Artist "Jane Lane" in "Daria".

Startings
   Maybe a theme?  Something about "friendship" or "fun", etc.
   Maybe a technique?  Watercolour, PinchPot, etc
   Maybe a theoretical thing?  Composition, juxtaposition, etc.

Doings
   Do. 

Critique!!
   Show -- show some stuff that you did. 
           Or: Something that someone else did    
               A "chalk talk" of slides or stuff
               A film, a song, danse, etc.
           
   Talk -- talk about your or someone else's work
           in the critique.

   Ask -- what does this mean? Why did you do that?

   (or not) -- Sometimes we must be the "pure" magician
               and not say ANYTHING (Andy Warhol was 
               famous for that). Sometimes by talking 
               and explaining we take a LOT of the great
               parts of the artwork away. Sometimes art
               DOES need a "bit of help" so that people
               will get it; eg, we may have to explain
               the symbols or ideas behind the work or
               we may have to explain a bit about ourselves.
