What seems to always jump-start your zing of creativity? (Sleep, good movie, book, exercise, etc) and how does time to work on alone and / or the stimulation of other people relate to your creativity level?
For me, a walk outside and then reading always helps me get motivated, I love a good cup of hot tea or coffee. One of my painting friends always helps me see things in a different way if I get stumped on a certain design element. If I am by myself sometimes I will send s snapshot of the thing I am working on to her and she always has great feedback. It's how I grow as an artist too!

What seems to jump-start my creative is when I look at others work of art and when I look online for ideas. The time to work alone with out others help me do my work easyer and quicker to do everything the way I want it to be.

A few things that always seem to jump start or zing my creativity is my family and friends. They are always there for me and they inspire me and give me ideas every day.

I would say looking for inspiration jump starts my creativity I love seeing others work or even just random things outside or laying around that catch my eye and pull bits and pieces from it to make it my own. Music also really helps me focus in on what I'm working on because I'm easily distracted but once I'm in work mode I could sit for hours trying to create a piece that I'll love. Also if it's a project that I really interest me it's easier for to to just go for it because it's something that I am passionate about.

What always jump-starts my creativity is talking to my friends and family. My younger sister enjoys painting, so I can always ask her for advice and she’ll give me an idea. I also think looking at other people’s work, whether it be on pinterest, social media, or in the classroom, sparks my creativity. I definitely feel that I work better alone. I am more efficient without the distraction of others.

I know this probably sounds weird but the thing that usually sparks up my creativity is when I've had a hard day or i'm upset. I guess you could say I've been through a lot but in a way it's inspired me to do what I'm best at and that's being an artist. I put my heart and soul, my feelings even into my work. When I'm having one of those days making my works of art take my mind off of everything. The world around me, my surroundings are what inspire me. The people who are in and out of my life take a big part in my inspiration, because people never seize to amaze me whether it's in good or bad ways. I wish that I had all the time in the world to do every piece I do, because I'm not always feeling it. My best work comes out when I'm not rushed.

Things that spark my creativity are honestly anything around me. I grab ideas from anything I can think of/ look at. Most of the time I usually go with the first thing that pops into my head. I've come to see the more I think about it, the more complicated the prophet becomes. The first thing that pops into my head is pretty random so I try to make it as creative as I possibly can

For me it seems to be people that inspire me or nature. I have a friend that does art with me time to time and she inspires me to try new things that are more her style. I find myself being motivated by current events as well. I've done serval about the pressure on women to be a certain way. It shows a lot in my drawing. It really just comes randomly and I go with it.

I would say that looking at other artists work is what jump starts my creativity as well as my surroundings. It's always interesting to see others works of art and then turn it into your own. Working alone allows you to focus and concentrate on the task at hand but it is good to have other people around so you can hear their opinions on how it can be improved.

I usually get to wanting to draw or something creative when I see work of others, so I could try to do what they are doing myself. Or maybe something from a book I read.

Usually for me, seeing things around just in my daily life help me come up with things. Also seeing other artists work and seeing their ideas and being able to form my own ideas through the inspiration of someone else also helps.

A pencil and a piece of paper always seems to JumpStart my creativity. When I'm alone at home, sometimes something just pops up in my head and I scribble it down. If my sketchbook is nearby, I might just doodle imaged that pop up in my head. Sometimes the things I draw are too unrealistic or hard to make, but it's still a lot of fun and I still use the doodles to influence my pieces. Time to work alone with either instrumental music or silence tends to give me the most creative ideas and good places to start off my work. Since a lot if the time the work I try to start is so difficult or really unrealistic, though, working with another person is usually twice as productive. Hearing insight from another person helps a lot too!

Things that jump starts me, is always looking at different things. Always enjoying to search for many different idea. Even just thinking about somethin unrealistic. I think it's also good for me to be able to work alone just to see what I am good at.

Honestly, whatever comes to mind. Sometimes, a dream inspires me. Sometimes a book, or just whatever comes to mind. Looking at old photos or listening to music. Anything can inspire anyone as long as the have the imagination to see it and create it.

There are countless outlets that can spark my creativity. One being running, during this time to myself I am able to think about small things that I would usually overlook. I will see something beautiful outside or think about someone else's work that I liked and put my own spin on it in my head. Another inspiration, is watching other people in class work. Seeing this drives me to practice and improve. The wheel is very challenging, so any motivation to not give up is useful.

What jumpstarts my creativity is when I look at certain things. Certain patterns or colors inspire me. Also certain places like the mountains or the beach inspire me a lot. I'm more of a nature person with all the colors that inspire me.

What seems to really motivate me and get my creativity started is going on Pinterest to look for ideas. Anytime I'm stuck on a project and not inspired I search for ideas on Pinterest, its my life saver! Sometimes sleeping on the different ideas I get helps me decide what I should do. I love working alone on my projects but I enjoy having other inspired people around me to help when I get stuck. Even just by looking at their work sometimes inspires my creative thinking.

Watching movies or going outside sparks my creativity, and so does sleeping. Or looking at other peoples art works and watching how they work.
