How do artists develop content and ideas for their work?

Artists develop ideas for their work from either personal experiences or feelings/emotions. It is easiest to work off of these ideas because you are able to relate closely to your work if you have a connection with what you are creating. There is also time for brain storming your ideas so you can have a more concrete vision of what you want to.

What kinds of techniques, behaviors, and habits allow artists to turn their ideas into meaningful works of art that engage the viewer?

Techniques of changing the textures in the piece, vibrant colors or opposite colors, and different medias make a piece more eye catching to make the viewer engaged. If the piece of work allows the viewers to connect with the piece, it is more likely that people will stop to take a second glance at the art if they feel a connection.
