1. The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
Recently I have been looking through books about creating a fashion line and as I am reading them most of them start off with a mood board, which is a board where you paste pictures and ideas that will inspire you when creating a new line for your collection. As not all lines start like this i find that it is a really nice way to condense all the ideas and start focusing on one specific idea. How that relates to art is that sometimes art pieces can inspire designers to create specific clothing in their lines.
Now what how it relates to what I have done this month, is that I have started a mood wall that inspires me to create and try new things, in either what I am creating or what I am wearing. My mood wall is an easy way to take everything that is going threw my mind and place it somewhere I can think about and help on expanding what I know and what I don't.
Inspiration is everywhere you just have to keep your eyes open.
