Imagine sitting down in your design studio for an hour or so.
Your mind is blank and you just cannot seem to think of anything to get
started to work on your art piece.
The first step for an artist is inspiration. By simply seeing someone's work and being fascinated by it could be the beginning of your master art piece. There are only two ways to go about in such a situation: Either positive or negative thinking. People who are positive will actually allow themselves to figure out new ideas and expand their mindset. Those who think negative will just restrict themselves from generating ideas and believe they can never do the impossible.
Many artists face problems of getting ideas. Nobody can generate ideas instantly the moment they want to. So does this mean we just have to surrender to that thought and just wait for the "right time" for inspiration?
Well, I would say the answer is yes and no. However, one thing you can be sure of is that there are definitely measures you can take to help your idea generation.
A good exercise that you can do is to keep a record of every piece of art that inspires you and also all the ideas you came up with when brainstorming. Who knows? That ridiculous idea you thought of just a few days might just be the key to completing your art piece. Having such a file in your possession can help you to organize your ideas as well as linking them back to its roots(the things that influenced you to think of such ideas)
Another exercise is to communicate with other artists. Make friends whom you can discuss ideas about art everyday. For example you can discuss with them how they got the idea for a particular art piece which they have done. Discuss in details! Ask them what exactly inspired them, what struck them at the moment and what exactly prompted them to think of such ideas
The last exercise i am going to mention is to use ideas to generate more ideas. Yes I know this might sound complex to you! Put it simply this means to let your ideas flow.
Every piece of work of a true artist is alive because the artist is able to portray his imagination fully into his works. Therefore only those who truly appreciate art can decipher the meaning of an artist's work.
