Creativity Block




I think in any art there can be such a thing as “writer’s block”, but in this case “creativity block”. I tend to fight with this sometimes, depending on what’s going on in my life at the time. Personal issues can cause major stoppage in creating any type of work, but the show must go on! So how? Before you listen to one side of the brain that say’s “I can’t go on right now”, listen to the other side that allows your artistic surroundings to

influence you. Let your eye still visualize and see color and shapes then you
will adjust your performance to match the properties of your mood. The artist
Van Gogh envisioned and created an outlet of pure talent. He was tormented in
many ways internally, but he still had a creative eye and chose to express his
self in what ever state of mind he was in.
I feel creativity can come from any and every state of mind we’re in. The good, the bad, the sad , the glad, the happy. We should make art that endures the test of time, and the test of time is any and everything we go through. We should not let anything take
away from our passion. Let it be your baby to feed, and if you do not feed it,
it will die. Every piece of art work may or may not have a story. Sunlight,
Mountains, pink sand or charcoal could have an explosive effect on something we
create. An argument can draw beautiful colors or the abstractness of a design. I
encourage all to create no matter what our circumstances are. It can be the most
masterful piece of art we could or would ever create in our lives. Be creative
no matter what and push through any circumstance, situation or pain you may
endure. Let creativity be your outlet to visualize your imaginative saga.

  1. I agree with your analogy. Often I endure similar creativity block and have to push past to see beyond the trees which then allows me to see the path to forest clearly.
    Thanks for reminding us to create regardless.
