Tips for Expressing Yourself Creatively

Here are some tips from Creating Hope's Tina Gianfagna for expressing yourself creatively:

• Experiment and find the right art form for you.
• Create time for yourself to concentrate on whatever art form you have chosen.
• If you have a "Hope Kit," take a look at the instruction manual. The technique that is shown is achievable by everyone.
• Set the mood by listening to music.
• Don't become too critical of your work - or be afraid others will judge your ability.
• Express yourself for yourself and not for everyone's approval.
• Realize there really is no right or wrong in expressing who you are.
• Get ready to have a joyful time without worrying about the outcome. It's not about making art, it's about losing yourself in your creative medium.
