Creepin’ on Ideas

Creating art is not simple. First you must be trained, whether self taught or through apprenticeship, in your chosen medium. You must understand your tools and be able to use them to build, break and modify your chosen canvas. An interest in past masters and a chronological awareness of art history can only help and an in depth analysis of your favorite pieces of art is recommended. A strong understanding of the basic principles and elements of design is important and a keen eye is essential.

Once you have chosen your medium, you understand the basic principles and elements of art making  and you have learned how to use your implements…  you begin looking for inspiring ideas.

Where do you look for inspiration?
