look around so here are some ways to
0:34
develop art inspiration in your everyday
0:36
life we're going to talk about 15
0:38
different ways first of all practice
0:41
mindful observation when you go out and
0:43
you see the world around you slow down
0:45
and observe the world take a moment to
0:48
notice patterns on pavement how light
0:51
filters through windows or the
0:53
expressions of people passing by and
0:55
this will help you to be able to
0:57
practice more mindful observation to be
1:00
able to see the world in a new light
1:03
engage your senses you know inspiration
1:05
isn't just about what you see it's about
1:07
your other senses to fresh ideas listen
1:10
to sounds of nature the hum of the city
1:13
you know the texture of fabrics and
1:15
walls or tree bark you know feel those
1:18
and and see how they feel and how they
1:21
touch pay attention to the sense around
1:23
you and you know then you will really be
1:26
able to you know have all of your senses
1:28
be engaged capture the unexpected you
1:31
know some of the best artistic ideas
1:33
emerge from spontaneous moments keep a
1:36
camera and a smartphone handy to
1:38
document interesting scenes or colors or
1:41
something that catches your eye or
1:43
something you think is beautiful or just
1:45
a pattern that you love if there's some
1:47
kind of pattern you love then just take
1:49
a photo of it and keep it and have it
1:53
find inspiration in people and
1:55
conversations people are a rich source
1:57
of artistic inspiration one of the
1:59
things that I've always loved to do when
2:01
I've traveled is just sort of sit and
2:03
watch people just be like a people
2:05
watcher observe body language facial
2:08
expression everyday interactions listen
2:11
to conversations just watch people i
2:16
watcher reimagine the ordinary a simple
2:19
way to boost creativities look for
2:21
everyday objects in new ways you know
2:24
try different perspectives you know just
2:26
from everyday type of things you know
2:29
like just whether it's household objects
2:33
you know artists like you know Pablo
2:35
Picassio were known for transforming
2:37
everyday objects and remarkable works of
2:39
art so even you don't even really have
2:41
to go out or travel or do anything
2:43
extraordinary it can just be everyday
2:44
things that you have in your home draw
2:47
inspiration from nature nature is a
2:49
great way to be able to draw inspiration

2:59
ways if you're a photographer experiment
3:01
different lights or angles if you're an
3:03
artist look at different types of paints
3:06

3:09
creative habit you know make it a
3:11
routine doodle a bit or today you know
3:14
with all the technology that's available

4:03
boredom and stillness you know in the in
4:05

4:37
communities can provide motivation and
4:39
fresh perspectives trust the process and
4:42
stay curious and I think this is one of
4:44
the main ones is that you know you know
4:46
artists need to be curious they need to
4:48
have a sense of curiosity and at the
4:51
same time just trust the process believe
4:53
that you know maybe it's going to take
4:55
patience but but eventually things are
4:57
going to come they're going to come
4:58
together you're going to get new ideas
