Being creative gives us opportunities to try out new ideas, and new ways of thinking and problem-solving. Creative activities help us acknowledge and celebrate our own uniqueness and diversity. Creativity encourages self-expression, a way to create something from personal feelings and experiences.

Here are, in my opinion, the twelve most necessary skills for a fine artist:

1. Realistic drawing.
2. Constructive drawing.
3. Ability to draw from life.
4. Drawing from memory and imagination.
5. Knowledge of art materials and their skillful use.
6. Knowledge of the rules of perspective.
7. Knowledge of golden proportions.
8. Composition skills.

Creativity is necessary because it is the same thing that makes us do the things we call ART. Creativity means that we have a huge supply of imagination and original ideas coming out of our head and we use it to create something that will either satisfy us or other people in a way that it will be appreciated as an Art.

“A creative person seems to have an ability to look at the world and say ‘I don’t care if there is lack of clarity and uncertainty, that allows me to think of lots of ideas,’ whereas some people look at that as a bad thing and they try to shut down in the face of uncertainty.” Creativity enables innovation.

5. Join a Workshop or Take a Night Class.

Freewrites are timed to ensure you stay focused and write. Usually, freewrites are done for 10-15 minutes. You can make the freewrite longer, 15-30 minutes, if you really want to go for it and write for a while.

The key to effective freewriting is practice. Consider making it a part of your prewriting ritual every time you sit down to write. With freewriting, you can escape your inner critic—and free the writer within!

3. Remember that actions are finite.
4. Ask someone to manage you.
5. Tell a large number of people you’ll do it.
6. Find something you enjoy and treat yourself.
7. Do nothing else.
