Creative Challenge 3

So while researching creative excercises that look to be both unique and a fun way to get the creative juices flowing, I came accross one that I like. I feel this excerise is good way to find a new perspectice or think outside the norm and really challenge the person attemting to complete it. 

The excersise is fairly simple.  The individual attempting this exercise is first asked to open up a dictiory and at random pick a word without looking. They are then to create a shory story or a drawing using only that word ,the one above it and the one below it.

The other excersise i liked as well was to pick a compound word like brainstorm or sunflower and replace one of the words with another word. Then use the compound word  to create a short story or draw a picture .

I chose the compound word toothbrush. I replaced brush with skin  and got toothskin. ewwwww

Creative Challenge 2

 So we've been asked to find creativity exercises that help boost creativity. I didn't think much about that at first in terms of how this could benefit me until now. I've come across quite a few videos on YouTube that have been very interesting and helped me to think outside the box a little bit better. I feel my creativity has been heavily muted. I find myself struggling more often than not in an area where I used to excel. I find doing the things that make me happiest now frustrates me incredibly. I saw a tube channel that opened my eyes and helped me to identify a few things for me personally that were hindering me artistically.  I wanted to share the creativity boost exercise but additionally, I'd like to share another video from the same channel that helped me in a way I didn't expect. The first video will discuss the creative exercise. The second video I'm going to share from the same channel is going to introduce and talk about a concept called the gap, something a lot of artists experience and I was unaware of until now. I hope you enjoy it.
