Thinking Like an Artist

Learning to think like an artist means:
  • Looking at things more closely than most people do
  • Finding beauty in everyday things and situations
  • Making new connections between different things and ideas
  • Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things
  • Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives
  • Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure
  • Arranging items in new and imaginative ways
  • Working hard and at the edge of your potential
  • Persisting where others may give up
  • Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time
  • Dreaming and fantasizing
  • Using old ideas to create new ones
  • Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do
