Drawing Inspiration from Artists: Museum EditionWeek 5: This week's creative practice is about how we can turn a museum visit into a field trip, to transform existing art into inspiration for ourselves.
Being creative is one of the most versatile practices and journeys to experience. However, we know that creativity comes in phases. Sometimes that means stagnating a bit more. Who hasn’t heard of the infamous ‘writer’s block or has struggled with not coming up with new creative ideas or feels stuck. Creativity is fueled by getting new inspiration. That can look different for everyone. Personally, I get inspired most when I give myself time to explore (I am currently brewing something exciting revolving exactly around that — stay tuned, coming later this/early next week 👀). It might taking myself on a solo (or with Bebe) museum date, or stumbling over an artist studio or new store, leading to a conversation that expands my sense of what’s possible and opens up my worldview. Or getting that inspiration for a new idea by flipping through a beautiful design magazine from a curated bookstore. I love hearing others’ approaches to how they live and work. The art is to draw inspiration from others, to then make it your own. In this week’s creative practice, I want to talk more about the ‘art’ of drawing inspiration from other artists. And while there are many ways to do that - I already spoke about letting yourself get drawn to local art studios or spaces of inspiration in your area in one of my latest field notes — today I want to explore a different angle together with you. This week, I want to focus on getting inspired by artists from the past and present that we can find in curated spaces of creativity and exposure, such as museums and art exhibitions.
So this week’s creative practice is to plan a field trip to a museum near you that is currently having an exhibition on one or several artists and to treat yourself to a visit. 🖼️ The goal is not to imitate or copy a certain artist, but to use the inspiration and input from their practice, or even the philosophy to practice creativity for your own. “The best introduction to art is to stroll through a museum. The more art you see, the more you’ll learn to define your own taste.” — Jeanne Frank The other day, when my curiosity drew me into the Egyptian museum in Barcelona, I was inspired by all the crafts that were designed so many years ago, and felt so unique and special. It feels like nowadays a lot of things all look the same, so it was wonderful to see such different designs and feel immersed in so much art.  Egyptian museum Barcelona Set yourself up I always like to go into art exhibitions or museums as open-minded as I can. Trying not to expect anything and stay open to learning something. If you are unsure of how to approach this — here are some small tips that might help:...
