31 Art Prompts

31 Art Prompts

Here’s a post to combat something artists know too well: the dreaded artist’s block.

You could be a great author, painter, composer, songwriter, actor, anything – but perhaps you just can’t think of a way to express it. You want to do something, but what can you do?

Have a look at this list of prompts that I’ve collated for use, as I face artist’s block way too often. 31 prompts to last a month, and by then I might have posted more.

You are welcome to use any (or all) of these prompts for any purpose.

31. A typical day
30. Confusion
29. The night
28. A child’s dreams
27. If only…
26. Constrained freedom
25. Secrets of an open book
24. Injustice
23. What makes you smile?
22. A contagious laugh
21. What will the world be like in a thousand years’ time?
20. Apocalypse
19. A golden age
18. Corruption
17. Contentment
16. Half way there

May you find something that you could make a work of art with, and perhaps share it with others to inspire them as well.

You can share what you’ve made with me through the contact form, if you wish.
