When inspiration strikes, where does it strike from? Whether you are singing in the shower, smelling a flower, deep in a book, meeting new people, or reading your fortune in your coffee grounds, it’s helpful to be aware of the things that make us tick creatively. What inspires you will likely be different from what inspires your friends/family/other artists, and that’s perfectly fine!

QUIZ: What’s Your Creative Personality?
You're a Nature Ninja!
You're inspired by the natural, flowing, and unexpected elements of Mother Nature. Whatever mood you're in, grounding down to earth usually helps clear your head. Put this Creative Personality to good use and shake up your creative flow by going on a bushwalk or a beachcombing adventure, and scavenge in nature. Collect fallen flowers, gumnuts or interesting stones on your way, and create nature rubbings with crayons or pastels on paper. Paint right onto crunchy fallen leaves, yarn bomb a tree branch to decorate your house, or paint mandalas on rocks and leave them in public places for passersby to find.

You’re a Mover ‘n’ Shaker!
You just can't help it, you need movement and energy to get your creative juices flowing. You like to shake it up, get out of your head and into your body- none of this sitting and pondering under a tree business! It's easy to access your creativity when you possess this Creative Personality. You can start by waking up your body with singing, dancing, running or cartwheeling. You can use your body in so many creative ways; hula-hooping, a circus class, a hip-hop dance session, or be influenced by the beats of your favourite song to create a large scale painting.

You’re a Magical Maker!
You really get a kick of making something from nothing. You are a true craftsperson who loves to create with your hands. If you’re feeling stuck on your usual medium, now is a good time to switch things up. If you'd usually paint, try a clay or ceramic class. If you usually use brushes, try getting down and dirty with finger painting. Take the pressure off the end product looking too polished. As a Magical Maker, your imagination is your guide. Give your Creative Personality a space to shine, by taking time to daydream. Recapture your playfulness and curiosity by engaging in activities that focus less on the look of the finished product - it’s all about how it feels!

You’re a Culture Curator!
As a 'people person', you feed off finding the new happenings about town, drinking in the local culture and making friends. To activate your inspiration, it’s time to explore a new area of your city, and treat it like a cultural orienteering mission! Discover the hidden gems around your city; whether that's street art, galleries, exhibitions or shows. Create a travel diary or culture journal to visually record all the great experiences you’ve had. Another way to pump-up your sense of adventure is to plan a road trip, book an Airbnb and get out of town for the weekend. Remember, inspiration lies around every corner...

You’re a Wondrous Wordsmith!
You are a keen observer, and find you can best express yourself with the written word. The charm of being a Wondrous Wordsmith is the unique way you see the world and poetically communicate that to other people. To fully express your Creative Personality, try 'book page poetry’ or ‘black-out poetry'. Or, start an art journal, using words and phrases cut from magazines to represent your stories, combined with imagery or doodling. Connect with your fellow Wondrous Wordsmiths at a spoken word event or storytelling meetup in your city.
