Artist Dates

Artists Date

I just started doing a creative artist exercise where you choose a place to go to. You go alone and you just allow your thoughts to flow.  The date is called artist date and it allows your creative thoughts to surface. The goal is to not allow things to distract you and so the exercise must be done along. It can be very hard to go somewhere alone but sometimes people can be a distraction; kind of like a road block and can block our creative thoughts.  This Artist date should be practiced once a week. Many of use do something similar and we consider it “alone time” but in your artist date you don’t have to do a specific task just go somewhere and take a walk. On my 1st artist date I visited the coffee shop and people watched for an hour. I found myself wanting to use some of the conversations I overheard in this blog. I challenge you all to practice an Artist Date.
