5 Unexpected Ways To Get
Your Creativity Unstuck

3. Draw One Object In Many Ways
#1
Pick an interesting object and, in one
sitting, draw/paint/represent it in a
minimum of a hundred completely
different ways. Take ‘ring’. It can be a
wedding ring, a sun, the moon, the ring
around Saturn, it can be an umbrella. Just
use your imagination.

4. Catalog Your Medicine Cabinet
#2No, don’t write things down! Just make a
catalog that uses all possible forms. Draw it,
paint it, sing it, sculpt it, photograph, or
collage everything you have, and then make a
poster or small book about the objects. It can
be also you given kitchen unit or a fridge. Just
don’t keep it open for too long.

5. Use A Cropping Tool To Find
New Compositions
#3Take any picture you like – it can be yours or
not – and use crop tool (google plus,
Facebook, Instagram or many other tools
allow this) and crop it to create a totally
unexpected composition. Do not be afraid to
break the rules. My favourite recent cropping
is cropping selfies so that they become…
unselfies.

6. Give Any Given Object A New Life
#4I really love this one – you just take any simple
object (like my favourite paperclip) and put it
on a plain paper. Look at it and start drawing
around it. You will see how easily this object
will become a trumpet, tank or anything your
vivid imagination creates. Remember – no
boundaries, no stress. And please do not tell
me, you cannot draw! YOU CAN!

7. Get Bored! Like Really Bored!
#5Most parents would agree that when their kids
get bored, they get… creative. Sometimes to
creative. The truth is that sometimes our
mind needs to get bored to start wandering
around looking for ways to play and fool
around. It’s a good idea to literally get rid of
all stimuli and relax your body and mind. Try
to do nothing. It is not that simple!

8. Those were just a few ideas on how to get your creativity
unstuck. The more you play around, the better. and
remember never ever to think that what you do to unstuck
your creativity is stupid. It is not! It sometimes is worth to let
down your guard and be a child again.
