Be More Observant

How to be more creative...

Getting Tone - Paying close attention to whats happening around you.
Tiny Truths - Focus on the details.

Observing things more closely helps me to appreciate the world around.  It sparks my creativity because I see things that I might have missed if I would have not looked so closely.

After a few of the lectures on creativity this past week I have been listening to some of my favorite songs more closely and focusing on the small details of my surroundings.

The following are a few examples of artwork that I found that make use of details.  The samples that I have chosen require the audience to actively study the piece to fully understand the message.  As I look at them I feel inspired to focus on all of the details of not only pieces of art but everything in the world around me.  This makes me more creative!
