5 simple IMAGINATION EXERCISES to increase your mental acutity!

This video details 5 methods that I utilize to exercise my imagination and creative spirit as I create art. Sometimes, we must imagine and create a world in our minds when creating art - and these are some of the methods that I'm using to develop this ability.

The Origin of Created Things

Where does our imagination give existence to new thoughts, ideas, and art? The conscious and subconscious mind processes all experiences in our lives, but each retains different amounts of information and differently. The conscious mind is aware of only between 5% and 10% of what happens, and is a poor witness of real-time events. The subconscious mind, however, retains vast amounts of information and most everything that the conscious mind ignores.

The Creation of Art

When we engage in the creation of art, we engage both our conscious and subconscious minds. We rely upon our imagination to discern and differentiate between the reality we perceive and the reality we create. We describe the reality that we seek to create with words, images, and sculpture. This is the realm of imagination, where creative art resides.

My sketchbook journal and oil painting have taught me to inquire more deeply about where my creative impulse originates. I indicate in this video that the music we listen to when we create art affects our attitude and emotions, and effects our creative spirit and production. If you want to produce Thomas Kinkade Christmas paintings of light, then listen to heart warming Christmas music.
