There are no rules in how you want to express yourself creatively and it is entirely up to you what mediums you use and the combinations.
A lot of us still carry around the negative
talk of others, ‘don’t make a mess’, ‘stay within the line’, ‘you’ll never be’
– and fill in the gap for the fragments of negativity buried deep within needs
to be excavated and released. Today, break them.
What you can try
- Choose one creative “rule” you usually follow and break it boldly. Let that spark a wild, free page.
- Paint off the edge. Use your non-dominant hand. Cut a hole in the paper. Tape something in backwards. Turn your journal upside down. Layer paint before it's dry.
- Use a tool “incorrectly.” Delight in the freedom of doing things your own way. Think outside of the box.
- This exercise reminds you that you are in charge of your practice. You get to choose what works for you.
What rules have you been following without
even noticing? Today, drop them. And see what happens.
Takeaway Nuggets:
- Rule-breaking leads to creative liberation.
- Art becomes more alive when we stop trying to “get it right.”
