Whatever direction your life takes, your underlying themes remain. Discover and explore your themes to open the way for rich creative development.

Don't dwell on your mistakes. Set achievable goals: a confident line, effective use of values, interesting shapes, exciting texture.

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

Choose to give your creative art priority over other things. You can do it.

Establish an atmosphere that energizes you. Some creative people flourish in confusion; others need to be free from interruption. Many prepare themselves for work by exercising to stimulate circulation; others meditate to quiet the chatter of the outer world.

Use design as a framework to bring order out of chaos.

Collage is like a hall of mirrors. Every direction you look, you see something different and visually stimulating.
