Great video!! I'm getting back into art at 22 after a decade of giving up on my "creative identity" and it feels so daunting but also very exciting!

i looooved the video and i have questions regarding immersing myself in an art environment. for someone still in highschool, how would you advise me to immerse myself online? and how do you keep yourself creative and avoid art block?

[@lovemilie]

@@nicolereinara hi!!! Thank you for your question :) i would recommend joining any art classes or clubs in school if they are available and looking for extra curriculars if possible :) and going to art galleries, libraries, etc. Anywhere to find inspiration and potentially meet other people! With immersing yourself online, i would recommend starting with posting on instagram. You can post reels to gain followers and try and find another community that way :) And getting references/ inspiration from Pinterest is super helpful. WITH ART BLOCK: this is actually something I am struggling with again and it happens to everyone! I mention earlier in the video that creating every day for yourself is super valuable, especially with art block. So this time for me, I started doing a drawing in my sketchbook every day and going out and trying something for fun (for me that is going on walks and taking photos). So try fitting some creative time every day, even if it is while you are taking transportation, before you get ready to sleep, etc. I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any other questions and feel free to send me a dm any time and if you do end up making an art instagram account, let me know your account name and i would love to follow you!
