11. Collaborate with Others
Collaborating with friends, family, or fellow artists can open up fresh perspectives and ignite new creative directions. Whether it’s co-writing a story, painting a mural together, or simply brainstorming ideas, group interactions often lead to unexpected breakthroughs.
For example, the surrealists famously used collaborative games like “Exquisite Corpse” to generate unique artworks. Research on collective creativity, such as that discussed by Harvard Business Review, shows that sharing ideas fosters innovation and helps push artistic boundaries further than solo work alone.
