THE PROCESS ESSAY QUESTION:
1. With reference to historical and contemporary examples, discuss the value of rules, systems, constraints in the creative process. Do these rules create the conditions for improvisation, serendipity, playful intuition? Try to refer to a range of cultural references.
Be free to make links between ideas and methodologies across disciplines (illustration, graphic design, 3D design, art, film, writing, performance, …).
