I love this article about art and how to embrace it during our challenging days ahead. https://psychcentral.com/blog/3-ways-to-jump-start-your-creativity-during-coronavirus/
If you want to do more art, try these 3 easy, simple steps:
- Don’t pressure yourself
- Try doing art outside (e.g. on your porch, at a park, in the backyard)
- Try a different or new art medium (or try using your non dominant hand so you give yourself a break and not expect perfection)
I would probably add a few more tips…
4. Be playful and nonjudgemental with yourself
5. Play 3 to 5 of your favorite songs while doing art and give yourself a time limit so it doesn’t feel so daunting. This is helpful if you are hesitant or haven’t done art in a while
