How do you feel about bugs? Love them or hate them, they sure are fascinating in their variety and give us great ideas for creativity.
This month we challenge you to be inspired by bugs and just make something!
If you’ve something in mind straight away, awesome! Go and get making!
Otherwise, remember the easy framework we’ve been talking about, it’s the way we help support our creativity by breaking the process into easy sections that help us work on the bigger project
- Gather inspiration: google it, create a physical moodboard or create one on pinterest (you can see our bug inspiration board here), go to the library and do some research on anything bug related that interests you
- Look at things around you in a different way: now that you’ve gathered some inspiration and ideas about bugs, start looking at textures, patterns, colours, shapes around you- what can you use to create your bug project?
- Try things out: use your ideas and inspiration to try out things. Dabble at bit, try different materials to see if they come out how you think they will. Start making things!
- Show case your make: this can be creating a cool photo of your work to share on social, or framing it, or sending to a friend or simply logging it as done in your mind.
We’d love to see what you’re working on, send us an email or tag us on social so we can cheer you on, and remember- we love to see the process and the progress, not just the finished project!
p.s. Having creative block from too many possibilities? We get it, and you are not alone! Stay tuned, help is on the way- we’re going to give you two specific project challenges this month for anyone who wants to have some limitations added to help get going (because weirdly, sometimes boundless creativity needs limits and structure to flourish!)
