Think outside of the box during the creative process! Never compare yourself or your art to others to the point where you think you're lesser or insufficient at what you do! Come up with your own, unique ideas and stand by them with confidence. There is only one you- so embrace your mind and ideas through the creative process! All ideas are fair game!

When you accurately and thoroughly go through all 5 of the divergent thinking steps when creating an art piece, your art will be more successful, original, and impact to the viewer and to you!.

Face the obstacles that arise during the creative process with confidence and push through them rather than giving up or feeling defeated when something doesn't go as planned.
