There are a few aspects we can think of when it comes to creative process and how to stimulate it. Workspace, tools, inspiration... and they all come up to personal preferences. Some people prefer to work at home, or in a quiet environment, while other prefer to listen to music or interact with others in order to create better working conditions for their creative process. Tools- a topic we kind of touched in the previous post- there is digital media, traditional media, and both of them offer a range of tools. It's up to the creator to choose what they are more confident doing, or if they wish to challenge themselves using a new tool. And then we come to the inspiration part, the zone- that wonderful state when ideas are flowing everywhere and you just can't wait to make them reality, lose track of time and just let yourself get consumed by your own creativity. But there's the other end of the stick- art block. The exact opposite of the zone. When you feel stuck, nothing comes to mind, and creativity is a problem. You can't be in the zone all the time. The creative process has it's ups and downs, and it's all part of the experience, let's embrace that. Sometimes nothing seems to work out, but every creative practitioner has been there.We all know that at some point we'll get out of that state. There is an amazing video about that "rollercoaster" experience of ups and downs during the creative process, made by the filmmaker SoSonia, I advise you to give it a look!
