Discover Your Source of Inspiration and Creativity at Sunny’s Blog
No matter whether you are an amateur artist, hobbyist or professional creative professional, cultivating the source of your inspiration and creativity requires work. Finding ways to stay inspired can keep creative work vibrantly stimulating – find ways that work for you to keep that spark alive!
Step one in finding inspiration is training yourself to observe. Spend some time outdoors as well as at home and at work; pay attention to everything that surrounds you, using all five senses to take in what’s around you – sights, sounds, scents, feelings and tastes–this way it becomes much easier to tap into creative sources in your environment and find source of motivation! It can be an amazing source of creativity.
Your favorite artists, writers and musicians may serve as sources of inspiration. Make a list of their works that appeal to you and what aspects inspire you about each. Once you identify those aspects that resonate most strongly with you, start to incorporate some of them into your own art as ways of discovering your own distinctive artistic voice.
If you want to be truly inspired, try traveling. Doing so will force you out of your comfort zone and expose you to new environments where sources of inspiration may lie hidden. Bring along a notebook and pen so that you can document all that inspires you along your journey.
Never neglect to broaden your artistic horizons by exploring all forms of art that exist. While it can be tempting to focus on one genre exclusively, broadening your experience will only serve to broaden your creative vocabulary and bring greater satisfaction from creating.
