The Creative Process

The Creative Process

The creative process involves a number of stages. The model described here can be applied to work that you produce for a course or as a private project, but it is based on the assumption that you are working in the context of an educational course with library facilities to help you. The work you are creating may be word-based or visual.

For most course work, the process consists of these five key stages:

1. Selecting and refining the topic
2. Researching the topic
3. Creating your work
4. Publishing your work
5. Evaluating your work
