Do you have art making habits?
Do you need to change some ways that you approach art making to create new work?
- I noticed that my messy cluttered space caused me to dread going to the studio.
- I go crazy when I know I have a certain tool and can’t find it after 20 minutes of searching
- I love looking at a wall of completed prints
- I love stackable boxes that hold my prints, stencils and papers
I challenge you to get a cup of tea, take a seat in your workspace and look around for 15 minutes or so.
- Notice what you love
- Notice what drags you down
- Even take pictures
- Notice things you use and don’t use
- Notice things you think you might use someday
- Or things that you “should” use
- Or things that are too precious to use
After this contemplation, would you say your space supports your art practice?
Could you take 20 minutes and
- get rid of things you don’t use?
- sort through a pile of papers or tools?
- clear off a table?
- make a plan to set up your space so that it supports your creativity.
One other way to support your creative habits, is to take a class. Check out the art classes being offered right now.
