Guiding Question

Definition

A guiding question is a thought-provoking query that helps artists explore their ideas and guide their creative process. It serves as a starting point for research or artistic inquiry.

Analogy

Think of a guiding question as a compass that points you in the right direction when you're lost. Just like how it helps you find your way, a guiding question helps artists navigate through their thoughts and find meaningful answers within their work.
