Creativity Tip #1: Do something radically different with your favorite form of art.

By Chris Dunmire

One of the most certain ways to get stuck in a creative rut is to keep doing the same ol' thing — the same way — every time. Get out of the rut by introducing a new 'twist' to your art projects.

For example, if your favorite medium is:

CLAY, infuse it with FOUND OBJECTS

PAINT, apply it to UNUSUAL SUPPORTS

COLLAGE, design it THREE DIMENSIONAL

Make it a point to try something radically different on your next art project or two, and see how quickly the 'rut' becomes a 'road'.
