WHAT IS A CREATIVE PROVOCATION?
In it’s purest form, provocations provoke: thoughts, ideas, interests, and inspire the imagination toward creativity. Provocations can come in a variety of ways, but should make you think, want to act or interact and connect.
Creative provocations are things, or a collection of things that inspire you to create by sparking your imagination and leading you to muse.
CREATIVE PROVOCATIONS CAN BE SIMPLE :
Photos or art work
Movies or books
Journals with pens
Natural things – colourfuls rocks, a perfect stick, unused birds nest
Collection of desk gadgets
Picture magazines
A scene out the window
Make yourself a creative provocation tray – a collection of things your like, treasure and inspire you to create.
Display provocations in a beautiful way, so they stimulate your interest and spark your imagination to wonder.
In child care we set up provocations for play – set out toys and materials for children to come upon and start asking questions and spark their desire to play.
If you want to stimulate your creativity and get your head into your creative space, make yourself a creative provocation collection so you can draw from its energy to capture and tame your elusive muse.
