How do you find your inspiration?

How can I find inspiration to create good art?

• I have always loved creating art. I have times that I progress very quickly and have so many ideas and inspiration that I can barely keep up. However I also go through phases where my work hits a plateau and i don't know how to escape from it. This is when I lack inspiration and don't know what to make. It's similar to writers block and It can be very frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas how to get past a plateau period in creativity or find good inspiration?

• Answer:

  Painters block, "plateau" is a usual state for all aspiring artists. Music can be a good way to inspire you, my teacher at school once told me to go somewhere like a park and walk bare foot, close your eyes,visualize, use your nose and ears to smell and hear things to get a visual of a scene, this helps to find your inner muse. Fair enough it sounds crazy, but it helps.
