I find brainstorming to be very useful in my art process most of
the time. All of the time, dare I say. I love the exhilaration of
getting the ideas flowing as I'm sure many artists do. If you are not familiar
with brainstorming, it is basically picking a topic (ie. What to crochet?) and
then coming up with as many ideas as possible. Some people set time limits,
some people look for a magic number of ideas; the goal with those is to make
you push for ideas after the most apparent ones. Here is where it gets tricky.
The ideas need to be written down as they come, without editing. There is time
for editing later. Nothing is a "bad" idea at this stage! It’s very
freeing.
Brainstorming can
be used for creative as well as non-creative uses, in fact, I brainstormed this
post before writing! It is a creative task, and now the writing falls into
place easily. Non-creatively, you might use brainstorming to solve a problem,
financial or otherwise.
What did you last
brainstorm about?
