This week’s creative prompt: Drip. Not just liquid. Not just motion. But the moment something gathers… and finally releases. • Is it water falling from a leaf after rain? • Paint sliding down a canvas under gravity? • The slow passage of time~ seconds, minutes, years? • Sweat, tears, wax, sap~ the body or the earth letting go? • Or maybe it’s confidence… style… presence~ your personal “drip”? 🎨 Creatives, writers, artists, makers~ what does drip stir up for you? This prompt can be taken literally, metaphorically, emotionally, or sensorially. Wherever your creative mind wants to wander, follow it~. You can respond with: • A sketch, WIP, or finished piece • A journal entry or poem • A photo or short video • Even just a note about where your mind went 🔥 Bonus: Try blending drip with another concept~ like gravity, patience, erosion, pressure, or transformation.

That was on a card I sent to someone. I liked it and only bought one and wondered if I could draw it, and send my drawn version as a thank you card.

I’ve been thinking about this lately… We always talk about IQ in terms of logic or academics but what about creative intelligence? The ability to: • See connections other people don’t • Come up with original ideas • Solve problems differently • Adapt quickly • Think beyond the obvious So here’s the question: How do you actually improve your Creativity IQ? Is it: • Consuming more diverse content? • Creating daily, even when it’s bad? • Limiting distractions? • Traveling and changing environments? • Studying psychology and human behavior? For me, I’ve noticed creativity grows when: - I’m consistent with output - I expose myself to new inputs - I allow boredom instead of constant scrolling Curious to hear your thoughts. What’s one thing that noticeably improved your creativity?

So I was talking to @Hansheng Lee last night and I wanted to throw this out there. Are there topics that you would want us to record and put out? Not quite a Ted talk, but more like a meditation on art. Whether it be technical things, or just talking about our stories as artists. Honestly, anything. I feel like it would be a fun way to get some insight on some of our members here in skool as well as talking about things maybe you have always wanted to ask, but never had the opportunity. Sound off in the comments. I cannot wait to hear what you want to talk about!
