Set a specific time for your art practice
If your art challenge is a daily one, getting it done first thing in the morning might instil a sense of achievement and help to put you in a productive mood for the rest of the day!Â
Treat the challenge as a safe space to explore and experiment
Throughout my art challenge, I created pieces that were less than ideal and definitely not *instagram-worthy*. I told myself that these pieces are simply part of my learning process and that I should be proud for keeping up with the challenge despite feeling uninspired or unmotivated.Â
Incorporate things that make you excited
I received a wax seal stamp set mid-month, and that got me excited about adding wax seals in my collages. I felt a renewed sense of motivation to forge ahead with the challenge. Keep looking for inspiration both within your chosen art medium and in other fields, and you just might something to refuel your creativity!
Hold yourself accountable
I held myself accountable to complete the challenge by announcing that I’ll be doing a 30 day collage challenge in one of my YouTube vlogs. Once I said it out loud, I had to get it done somehow, right? If going public is not your thing, you can get an art buddy to help you stay accountable, or even to complete the challenge together.
