To all the mothers, grandmothers, chosen mothers, caretakers, mentors, and guiding hands out there~ Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at The Art Collective International. 💐 Today is for the people who nurture quietly behind the scenes. The ones who hold families together, encourage creativity, offer warmth during difficult seasons, and somehow continue giving even when exhausted themselves. Art, in many ways, is often born from care. From recipes passed down through generations. From gardens lovingly tended year after year. From songs, stories, traditions, fabrics, photographs, paintings and laughs~ and especially memories kept alive because someone chose to preserve them. Thank you for all the ways you help shape the world around you. 🌸

I’ve been thinking about this lately… We always talk about IQ in terms of logic or academics but what about creative intelligence? The ability to: • See connections other people don’t • Come up with original ideas • Solve problems differently • Adapt quickly • Think beyond the obvious So here’s the question: How do you actually improve your Creativity IQ? Is it: • Consuming more diverse content? • Creating daily, even when it’s bad? • Limiting distractions? • Traveling and changing environments? • Studying psychology and human behavior? For me, I’ve noticed creativity grows when: - I’m consistent with output - I expose myself to new inputs - I allow boredom instead of constant scrolling Curious to hear your thoughts. What’s one thing that noticeably improved your creativity?
