Many a time we would find ourselves in a situation where by
we couldn’t find the solution to our creativity cravings. A writer would be
seen by his writing desk with his pen and paper, or his computer system; if he
happens to be a digital freak like me. How about a painter, he would stay for
hours at his work station brush in hand with a blank drawing fabric in front of
him. How about a digital designer, staring at his blank computer screen with is
CorelDraw awaiting response from him? The truth is, he who claims to have never
found himself in such circumstances lies. So as a creative individual, how do
you get around such frustrating phase in one’s prolific life of creativity? I
will be putting you through some simple steps that mostly work.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">     
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Don’t be
held hostage by deadlines:-</b> Deadlines are like wicked commanders, they make
you push yourselves to complete missions. However they would shy away from
responsibility when you run out of gas. Take the most out of deadline by making
sure you stick to a healthy schedule. Don’t ever over work it, nor should you under
work it. When you stick to a healthy schedule, you won’t fall victim to a
knocking deadline because falling far behind schedule means deadline knocks far
ahead of anticipation, the only means to catch up would be to over work
yourself. That would only exhaust your gas.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">     
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please,
take a break:-</b> Don’t be the workaholic that bore himself with below par
pieces because of stress. Creativity is never forced, the more your heart and
mind is into it, the more beautiful its handwork. When you discover that you
are suddenly out of gas. That should be the right time to take a break. What
should you do when you take such break? When you take such break, the sole
purpose of the action is to clear your head and relief stress. Definitely, fun,
recreation and relaxation should top your list of priorities. If you are a
proactive individual like me, you would bend such break towards fun activities
that could nudge your muse into a state of motivation or confidence. Take for
example, if am stuck on a story and decided to relax by reading an amazing
novel. Do you know you could be gifted a grand spark of motivation as such. Let
your muse dictate how you would spend your break, in as much as you would want
a drift away from the cognitively exhaustive work station, you shouldn’t wander
too far in other not be at such stance where you totally lose sight of your
impeding or half done master pieces.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">      </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brainstorm yourself after the break:- </b>Now
is the time to now brainstorm yourself so that you maximize the usage of your
newly found energy. By taking that break and relaxing amply, your muse would
have earned its lost energy. In other to maximize the usage of such energy, all
you have to do is equip your muse with nasty weapons so they would turn to
needed gangsters for that deadline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The
weapon in question would be the new ideas from your brief brain storming
session.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">      </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Get back to your work station and use that
tank full of gas:- </b>Now is the time to test how abundantly you are refuelled
for that work of muse waiting patiently in your workstation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">
Good luck to you as you get to
test out my outlined solution to that moment of block. Remember the muse in you
is greater a fire than an ocean of water can quench. Keep doing the creative
stuffs you are good at and remember that MuseGuide will always be here for you
to see you through your adventure as a musing individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Have a blessed week.</div>

I know it’s very convenient to stay in your comfort zone, to
do the ordinary and exploit the normal; to stay off the risk laden path to
extra ordinary. As safe as your comfort zone might be have you ever wondered if
it would keep you going forward or getting you stuck. As someone with an active
muse, it is expected of you to bring to life, mind-blowing masterpieces.
However these masterpieces just don’t come alive without a foundation made of
shrewd ideas. The truth is shrewd ideas comes from exhaustive brainstorming
which is often not a product of your comfort zone thinking. That is merely as
regard your sourcing for creative ideas. How about the eventuality of
transforming such ideas into the finished masterpieces your fan craves. Most
time that is even the hardest part. Severally we would have found ourselves
being able to generate one or two amazing ideas and content for our
breathtaking master pieces. However in executing these ideas, we realise; a
leap away from our comfort zone. We would realise a new approach might be
needed, or even new equipments and special skills, the sort of which we might
realise we are quite unfamiliar with.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Example can be seen with a Nigerian writer wanting to go a
bit sci-fi. Imagine how uncomfortable such premise might seem. Sci-fi to a
Nigerian writer is obviously out of our comfort zone. Definitely such writer
would find it difficult to execute his sci-fi idea. Other examples can be seen
with painters wanting to execute some 3D designs, imagine a 3D street art work.
Such ideas would be tough to execute as the issue of in experience and the fear
of its acceptance by people would be of utmost importance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The purpose of this article is not to push you into
executing extremely out of your comfort zone ideas. Or crazy ideas like some people
will call it. However the sole purpose of this write up is to allow you to
consider trying something a bit different once in a while because the after
math of that difference no matter how minute it is might be an incredible acceptance
the like of which astound minds.<br />

3d Street Art, often known as 3d<br />
chalk art is 2-dimensional artwork<br />
drawn on the street itself that gives<br />
you a 3-dimensional optical illusion<br />
from a certain perspective. It can be<br />
very breathtaking, realistic and at the<br />
same time captivating once you get<br />
the angle correct. And creating one<br />
is certainly through and challenging<br />

Painting is about creativity, even as such special mastery of the hue value must be ensured. Value in paintings, designs, or drawings, presents a scale of light - dark hue for each selected colour. It hence helps in giving a painting the virtue of richness and a feel of depth. To be considered is a painting style known as grisaile, a painting which exploit the art of using value to paint exclusively on the grey scale. These sort of paintings can be as beautiful as ever if the artiste is indeed creative. Check the caption image, study it, and see if you can draw, paint, or design using the grisaile technique. Always remember to be creative. Enjoy your day.<br />
