Creative expression is not just a means of getting attention, although some have approached art that way. Think of art as a way of connecting, of sharing your insights with others.

Release and regulate the flow of your inborn creative energy to reach your artistic potential.

Your hopes and dreams, as well as your perception of the world around you, come through in your work and make it unique.

Take imagination breaks... Relaxed attention is one of the most important states of mind for creativity, and sometimes it has to be learned.

When you finish for the day, write a note reminding yourself of what you plan to do next. This helps you to remember today's great idea when you get back to work tomorrow.

To tap into that natural creative spirit, recapture your childlike enthusiasm for everything around you. Work with the reckless delight of a child.

Get in touch with yourself. The fountain of creativity begins with the stream of conscious thought flowing inside you. Open the floodgate and creative ideas come rushing out.
