An incomlete manifesto for growth

there were a few things that stood out that could really push me to grow as an artist.

  1. Begin anywhere: "not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis." that is very true. Alot of times i just dont know where to begin and i end up getting nowhere fast. An art teacher i had in high school used to always tell me if i didnt have any ideas, i just need to keep drawing or brainstorm instead of focusing on the fact that i dont know where to go. i just need to start somewhere because that is better than nothing.
  2. Collaborate: i love to collaborate with people cuz that get my mind flowing. thats usually where i get more ideas, better ideas, and more creative ones as well
  3. blank: being blank or open would allow me to get new ideas and work on new processes that would allow me to grow.
  4. Stay up late: this could be interesting because when i become deproved of sleep, i do things i normally wouldnt do and that could be great source for inspiration
  5. taking breaks and going to different places: sometimes when im in a jam i like to take a break and come back or go to a different spot because it gives me new or rejuvenated creativity.
