Follow the Fun - Filling the Creative Well - Blog Series



What lights you up creatively? What brings a smile to your face, makes you laugh, or makes time disappear - those moments where you have been creating when it seems like only a few moments have passed but you have been creating for several hours, it is amazing and delightful when that happens you have been totally immersed in the activity.  Where do you find your creative joy? 

Creative fun can look like whatever you want it to be, and you can have several different activities which take you to that place where you can just play.  Fun might look like cutting up paper scraps, splattering paint, playing with stickers, drawing wonky characters, or writing poetry from the words you cut out of a magazine. It doesn’t have to be meaningful or serious it is about loosening the reins and going with the flow.


 

We can forget to follow the fun in our art because we think it has to “matter” or be impressive. It also sometimes gets caught up in the words of the ‘critic’ who will lurk in the background of our minds and have some throwaway negative comment.  So having these fun and creative activities is a great way to ‘do it anyway. 

 
Following what delights you leads to authenticity in your work will help you grow into your style, and your creative truth.

What you can try 

  • Choose your favorite supply and go wild. Let joy be the only goal. Follow the fun and create without editing or overthinking.
  • Make something just for the joy of it. No meaning. No message. Just fun.

Takeaway Nuggets:

  1. Joy is a powerful guide to creative flow.
  2. Art doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful.
