If you are a painter, beader, sculptor, writer, or photographer, whatever art you practice, growing your creative muscle requires challenge. Find someone who does what you do, only better, or find someone who does what you do only differently. Did you find this person in an association, a book, a magazine, or an Internet site? All those are good places.
An Association can bring you information on new products, tips for efficiency, business assistance, community and special classes. All of this may be what helps you. The classes may give you your best creative challenge because you will be able to ask questions and see what is happening as a project progresses. Sometimes asking questions is what you need. It can give you a brand new idea or get you past a spot you were stuck in. Maybe teach something you never had the skill for.

A book can be a great motivator. Seeing work that is different than your own in a picture can be just as motivating as seeing it in person. You have in a book the ability to pick it up when ever you want and really study the photo or the words. Often the book will have step-by-step instructions for a technique, which can also get that creative exercise going. Even if you have taken a class having a book that refers to what was in the class will reinforce what you have learned.
An Internet site may have a downloadable book or class. Sometimes you can find free downloads and sometimes they will have a cost. But to get the creative boost you are looking for a cost is well worth it. This is also good as you are able to go back to it again to review.
A magazine is a briefer albeit just as nice way to get a creative charge. Seeing what has been put in a magazine is often what is found to be really of the best. The photos or the articles will most often be what is new as well. Again, this is something, if you purchased the magazine, which you can refer to again and again. Even going to a library and looking at many magazines would be a great boost.
So even if you are an expert, having the latest information can take you to a new level. The class that shakes up your creative path and lets you look at things in a new way. The book that bugs you with something that you had not been using and makes you want to try it or, the magazines that contain pictures or articles in abundance which are inspiring. Even an expert needs a creative treat.
