A new year means there’s lots of new things to focus on, new ideas, new resolutions, and most importantly new hobbies! There’s no better time to start exploring new creative pursuits than at the beginning of the new year. Try things you’ve always wanted to, something you’ve been eager to do again, or something that you’ve simply never done before.
Here are some tips on how to unleash your imagination to kickstart your journey!
EXPERIMENT NEW TYPES OF ART
Here’s a little tutorial to help you get started on your first masterpiece!
When it comes to different forms of art, there is no right or wrong way to go about it. There are diverse forms of art that people can use to express themselves. Doodling can be a good start to recognize what you truly want to focus on. If you want to step out of your comfort zone and explore other options, you can try canvas art or watercolor painting, and see if that resonates with you. Another great way to learn more about art is to head to your local art gallery and take a look at some of the art pieces currently on display!

The same concept applies to being creative, if you’re stumped on what to do, try changing your environment to get more inspiration from things around you. Taking a stroll around the park, or any scenic area, can change your whole perspective and give you a clear mind to get creative.

WRITE IN A JOURNAL
When in doubt, pour your feelings out into a journal, and create your own story. The best thing about writing is that it comes with no rules, you can write whatever you want while exhibiting your creativity. Sometimes it can even be things you want to do in the near future, or simply good memories that you’ve had in the past.
