Development of creative thought.

Overcoming mind sets. To become original in our work we need to sometimes break the covental rules of design and thinking. Forcing our selves out side of our comfort zones.There is a simple way to force our selves to get into this habit. Think about what rules you want to break or change in what your doing and then find ways in which to challenge these rules question them why not do this like this or why not put that on there? Be creative in your work and try to brake conventions and preconceptions avoid pre existing assumptions that you may have of the work your about to do. To break the rules you need to know them first. Look at existing methods and attitudes that are prevalent study what has come before and what is currently popular. Over time one should develop attitudes of there which leads to creative thinking.

The creative environment that an artist works in is a reflection of the artist them selves. Personally in messy with scrap paper all over paints and brushes fermenting in days old water and pencils everywhere. However I work in such a why because It makes me comfortable and stimulates my creative process. A important part of a creative space is the junk in it a artistic person should collect all sorts of articles they come across and manage them around ones room so they give a sense of inspiration. Creative space can also be linked to how we organize our RVJs and work, and how we solve problems in them. A noticeable example of this is how we organize our thoughts do you writ a list or make a mind map? ultimately the environment we work in has an impact on our work and our work has an impact on our environment as well.
