It was interesting how each artist answered the same set of questions and what they came up for the Creative unBlock Project.
These artists are more modern type of artists. It's good to look at different art rather than plein air, landscapes, urban sketching, and traditional portrait. It's interesting to see the different mediums used and be exposed to different types of art.
I'd like to try some of the Creative unBlock Projects: Draw a quote a day; Cut a big piece of paper into 25 or more random sized/shaped pieces; replicate natural object in unnatural way; draw self as an animal; alter copied b/w drawing in 50 plus ways; blind contour drawings; take painted paper, cut into shapes arrange and collage; Draw/paint/represent an interesting object in 100 different ways in one sitting; Found rocks, trace them & shadow on paper, observe & accurately write down rocks colors, leave rock cairn for others to discover; catalog medicine cabinet; 10 doodles & their recurring motifs, 20-30 inspiration images & similarities, to discover what and why you like; crop from larger image & enlarge cropped piece for new composition; cut something in half and connect it to something else to form a new whole; Find 3 unfamiliar books at library adapt their images into a single artwork; draw a daily object.
Some artists kept everything, some reused their old art and some threw their art they didn't like away. One theme was experiment, OK to make bad art. Some people kept reworking until it worked while others stopped when it was obvious it wasn't working.
