When you set achievable goals, it's easier to make them work into your schedule and stay on track with your creative pursuits.

Remember, excitement and hope are two things that define the spirit of the season so find inspiration in those things and not just in all of the holiday stress. Find InspirationInspiration is an important part of the creative process. If you find yourself struggling to stay creative during the busy holiday season, try looking for inspiration in your surroundings.

You may find that there's some inspiration waiting for you. Or, if you're feeling brave, start with a blank canvas and see what emerges!

Conclusion Creating art during the holiday season may seem like a struggle, but there are many ways to stay creative and make it happen. It all starts with setting realistic goals and staying patient. My family has a long standing tradition of piling all who are agreeable (kids love this) into the car with art supplies, buying hot chocolate, and driving to 3 different scenic places. We stop at each for approx. 15 minutes, do quick sketching and move on. When we get home we have an exhibit and enjoy each others efforts. Another idea in this time of covid is a zoom craft project. My daughter mailed simple craft projects to all family with young children and they got together on zoom and enjoyed working simultaneously with family they don't get to see regularly. Let your imagination go, share the joy of the creative process this Holiday season! |  |
