Learning to think like an artist

Learning to think like an artist means:
            Looking at things more closely than most people do
                Finding beauty in everyday things and situations
                Making new connections between different things and ideas
                Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things
                Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives
                Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure
                Arranging items in new and imaginative ways
                Working hard and at the edge of your potential
                Persisting where others may give up
                Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time
                Dreaming and fantasizing
                Using old ideas to create new ones
                Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do
