This month’s idea to help you find inspiration, get creative, break out of a creative slump or to stop procrastinating
Finding Inspiration in June
Visit the library! Our local libraries are treasure troves of free resources, perfect for sparking your creativity. Don't limit yourself to the art section—explore different areas that you haven't before. You never know where inspiration might strike!
Explore New Sections: Delve into topics you’ve never considered. Whether it's history, science, or travel, these sections can offer unexpected artistic ideas.
Book Production: Pay attention to how books are produced. Examine the images, drawings, and cover designs. Notice how different elements are combined to create an engaging visual experience.
Comparative Analysis: Compare similar books and think about what draws you to one over another. Is it the use of color, the typography, or the layout? Understanding these elements can enhance your own creative process.
Art-Specific Inspiration: For a focused artistic boost, explore works by various artists or art movements. Discover new techniques, styles, and concepts that you can incorporate into your own work.
Children’s Section: Don’t overlook the children’s section! These books are often filled with vibrant illustrations and inventive ideas. Observe how illustrators use color, composition, and storytelling to captivate young readers.
Bonus Tip:
Sketch and Note: Bring a sketchpad and jot down ideas or make quick sketches of anything that catches your eye. Libraries are quiet, reflective spaces—perfect for a mini drawing session or brainstorming new project ideas.
Libraries are not just about borrowing books—they’re about discovering new worlds and perspectives. Make a library visit part of your creative routine this June, and let your imagination soar!
