Art Blog, “Overcoming art block”

By TenTen Shah a.k.a Laura Shah

There may come a time or many times where an artist has art block and is in a state of being stuck when it comes to creating art.

There can be many reasons behind the mind of an artist as to why they cannot bring themselves to creating art pieces.

Sometimes it helps to turn the thinking brain off or to a low setting and focus on what’s in front of you. Sometimes, it helps to not think about what’s going go on our external world and bring ourselves to the present of our canvas.

Creating art is a blessing. Being able to express oneself in a way that’s visual, creating art where it is our minds that power art to bring us to the present, past, and/or future. Our hands that paint colors on canvas to convey a story and have your voice heard. Art also has the power to convey emotions and feelings. So, what is it that you want to convey?

However, what helps me bring myself out of art block is also sometimes time. The right time requires patience but also understanding that you are in control of when the time is “right” for you.
