This short animated film is an impressionistic reflection on the creative process. Using black-and-white photographs (representing reality), overlaid with animated colour drawings (representing fantasy), it illustrates the artist as he braves creative storms, indulges spontaneous bursts of inspiration and learns, by trial and error, to harness his creative powers.

What does it mean to be creative? Have students discuss this film as a
metaphor for the creative process: the climb/struggle, the courage to look,
openness to new experiences, overwhelming sights and experiences, and so on.
Apply this process to a work of art. For example, if students were to create a
painting or write a story, how would all this apply to their process? How can
they work harder? See deeper? Embrace discovery?
