Creating Your 100 Day Project [Art Juice Ep: 105]
Have you found your creative well has run dry of inspiration? Especially recently? This week I am taking a day off while Alice and a special guest share two free projects that will help inspire and re-invigorate your art.
The 100-day project was started by the designer Michael Beirut and has since become an annual free global art project for creatives. Just pick an action, do it consistently for 100 days and share it. Today, we welcome Lindsay Thomson to the podcast. Lindsay has been involved in co-ordinating the project since 2017 and has lots of great advice.
The tips include how to pick your project (Lindsay suggests that you might choose from one of three key themes: play, practice or produce.) They also discuss how specific to get, how figuring out your motivation can really help, what your starting point might be, and how to find time.
The project kicks off on 31st Jan and runs until May 10th.
What to do now:
1. There are some great FAQs and tips on the website page where you can also sign up for the newsletter. http://the100dayproject.org
2. Go to @dothe100dayproject account on Instagram to share one of their recent posts to announce your commitment :-) Look in the Stories for a Q&A session done earlier this month
3. Think of your project and share using #the100dayproject and your own personal invented hashtag
Artist, psychologist and creativity coach Rachel Davis, who some of you may know from her AJ visits, will be offering free support, accountability, inspiration and humour through her IG account @racheldavisart.bayarea as she embarks on her third #100 day project. Rachel knows this terrain really well and is ready to help you stay on the creative track, even when self doubt, boredom and frustration show up, as they inevitably will. Follow #100daysupportwithrachel to keep up with what she’s offering and so she can comment on your journey.
