A strong generative statement or inquiry question forms the foundation of an art project, guiding artistic exploration, research, and experimentation. It should be broad enough for flexibility but focused enough to provide direction.

In the Art-Making Inquiries Portfolio (AIP), students develop inquiry questions/ generative statements to shape their process. These evolve over time, deepening exploration and refining ideas.

This card provides structured guidance to help students craft effective inquiry questions and generative statements for a clear, evolving artistic investigation.
