Display Your Creativity - 5min Creative Exercise with Krista Kankula
Manage episode 343162877 series 2828960
- Display your creativity/put on your own art show
- Do it in your house - could be just for yourself to see and appreciate or you can invite friends/family
- First let yourself view what you’ve created
- How to appreciate your progress/creative journey and build in time to pause and celebrate
- Sometimes when our projects get stored away in a file in our computer, in a sketchbook, we can forget about them, we can forget about the progress we’ve made, the different styles we’ve attempted
- Remind ourselves where we’ve been, can inspire/help us identify where we want to go next

Hey, I'm Krista Kankula. I'm a creativity coach and I’m here to offer short exercises to help you cultivate and express your creativity and do it in a way that’s rooted in joy, playfulness and self-belief.
The exercise I’m about to share with you is great if you’re:
- Wanting to work up the courage to share your art with more people
- Feeling like people don’t see/recognize your creativity or art
- If you’re experiencing a lot of self-doubt about your progress and creative skills
- Or if you have a dream to one day have your work featured in a gallery, festival or some sort of public space.
The practice today is this:
You’re going to imagine you’re hosting an art open house and it's going to be featuring your art/your creations.
You get to curate and design how you’ll display your art and which pieces you’d like to feature.
And then once you’re done you can decide if you’d like to invite friends, family, colleagues - the people in your circle to view it OR if for right now you’d prefer to view it yourself, and share it with others later.
Often we don’t spend a whole lot of time with what we’ve created when it’s finished. It might stay in a sketchbook and after we’re done we’re flipping to the next page, or it gets tucked away in a box or it lives in a digital folder, on our phone, on a social media feed or our camera roll.
Going through what you’ve created is an opportunity for you to be present with what you’ve made. To fully take it in and appreciate it.
It’s an opportunity to see your journey as a creative, how your skills and perspectives has changed over the months and years.
Through this process of reviewing and displaying your art you can look back and admire what you’ve created and maybe even get inspiration from these past creations. This process also gives us the opportunity to appreciate something we made, that maybe at the time we couldn’t fully appreciate because self-doubt or perfection was clouding our perception at the time.
So find a way to display a collection of your art, your creations. Use this exercise as a way to pause and appreciate your progress. Use this exercise as a practice in seeing your creative gifts and seeing yourself as a creative/artist - often we want other people to recognize our gifts/creativity, but what are we doing to recognize ourselves? What are we doing to really see + honour our creativity?
As always Ryan and I would love to hear from you. Take a photo + share your display/collection with us or let us know what this process of reviewing and displaying your work was like for you. Tag Ryan @creativepeople.podcast and me @kristakankula
