…and why it matters for your art.
Here’s a fun question for you:
When you create, do you prefer to retreat into your own little world… or do you light up when surrounded by other people?
If you’re nodding right now, you’re probably tapping into your creative introvert or creative extrovert side. And trust us, it’s not just a label; it actually shapes the way your art comes to life.
What’s Your Creative Style?
Creative Introverts: You might be the type who loves to create in silence, with just your thoughts and your tools. Maybe you find your best ideas during quiet walks, or while sipping tea in a cozy corner. You recharge your creative batteries alone, and your work often has this deep, thoughtful vibe that invites people in slowly.
Creative Extroverts: You thrive when you’re bouncing ideas off others, maybe in a lively studio or at a buzzing art fair. Your creative energy is contagious, and you often come up with your best pieces when you’re chatting, collaborating, or even just soaking up the energy around you.
Why Does It Matter?
Well, it matters because knowing this can help you design your creative life around what feels good and works best for you. For example:
• If you’re an introvert, carving out solo time to recharge isn’t just nice, it’s essential.
• If you’re an extrovert, connecting with other creatives might be your secret weapon for breakthroughs.
Ignoring this can lead to burnout, creative blocks, or just feeling “off” about your work.
Quick Tip: Try scheduling your week with your personality in mind. Need alone time? Block everyone else out like it’s the apocalypse. Crave connection? Plan a creative meetup or online hangout. The more you honour your style, the more your creativity flows naturally.
So, what is your creative style? Introvert, Extrovert, or a bit of both? We’re curious to know your answer, let us know in the comments section!
