Think Like An Artist

Learning to think like an artist means:

Looking at things more closely than most people do

Finding beauty in everyday things and situations

Making new connections between different things and ideas

Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things

Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives

Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure

Arranging items in new and imaginative ways

Working hard and at the edge of your potential

Persisting where others may give up

Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time

Dreaming and fantasizing

Using old ideas to create new ones

Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do
Forcing yourself to go through the hard times

Never ever letting someone else bring you down

Always having your goals in front of you

Thinking nothing but what you are working on

Going far out of your very own comfort zone

Being completely aware of your surroundings
