Artist's block? Kick down the wall with these techniques:

Set limitations to boost creativity:
  • ​Noah Scalin did it.... Skull-a-Day - "I'm making a skull a day for a year."​
  • Susie Ganch did it...  "I did a project-a-day for 21 days. Not surprisingly the best pieces came on days 20 and 21." Make sure to read the specific rules (limitations) that she set for herself!
  • George Ferrandi did it...."I gave myself an assignment to make three pieces a day before lunch using materials I had readily available."
​Sign up for daily prompts:
