Looking for some creative inspiration?

Try googling some of the following terms and click the "images" link for your search:


  • amazing creative
  • creative art pictures
  • weird architecture
  • paper engineering
  • layered acrylic painting
  • sculptures lit from within
  • accidental art
  • spontaneous art
  • contemporary dance
  • reused art
  • unexpected art



Make up your own search terms and see what happens... Ask your friends. Google about things you feel. Google random adjectives. Try using something besides google...

The point is to immerse yourself in a world that inspires you. I saw a meme the other day that said something along the lines of "If you don't feed it, the fire will go out." Make sure to delight yourself and keep your sense of wonder alive.

I found this video by switching from "images" to "videos" when searching for "paper engineering..."


What might you be able to find? What's better, what might you be able to create?

Interesting altered book and other paper art ideas...

All of these resources were found at http://www.thisiscolossal.com/ - enjoy! And remember, you are only limited by what you can dream up, and you can only dream if you let yourself wonder and wander...

Synchronicity, baby!

I just came across this on my Facebook feed and it is too perfect for our section on "Who are you, and why are you here?" not to share with you all! Enjoy!
