Question:

How can i improve my creativity and vizulaisation skills?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I paint, play music, write books, act and do many crafts and I also have a photographic memory. The things that keep my visual memory working well and keep me full of ideas and creativity are the following -

-Keep a journal and record thoughts, feelings and observations of everyday life in it. I do this every evening before I go to sleep, it also leaves my mind in peace to sleep so i don't have thoughts going over and over.
- learn to really see when you look. we only really see a little of what we look at, so really look at the 'details', like the colours of trees and light and shadow, shapes of buildings and details about people. You can actually train yourself to do this and it will improve your memory and your ability to visualise.
-keep an inspiration book where you stick in pictures of things from magazines that inspire you give you ideas, or you can also paste in bits of fabric or other bits and pieces.
-learn to think about things from every angle. think of an object or a theme and what it represents, what it reminds you of, the whens, whys, hows, whats and whiches of it and do this exercise as frequently as you can. creativity is often born from association and looking at an ordinary thing in an extraordinary way, so this exercise really helps with that.
-most of all, contantly remain inspired. creativity gives birth to mroe and more creativity if it is fed, so feed it! go to exhibitions, or galleries, or take photos of beautiful scenery, see plays, read inspiring books, whatever works for you.
