The project for this class is to complete each of the #10CreativeChallenges.

The 10 challenges are meant to be done in the moment (don't overthink it!) and shared with the Skillshare community. In each video, you’ll be prompted with one challenge and will have the opportunity to share your ideas in your class project. The 10 challenges are also summarized below for your reference.

This class has a few core principles - that quantity is more important than quality and that bringing ideas to life is a skill that we need to practice and receive feedback on. The class project will put these principles into practice!

You’re encouraged to modify the challenges to your industry. Creativity is about connections, and seeing what others in the class are doing is one of the keys to taking the lessons in the class and implementing them in your life. Sharing your brilliant ideas is one of the best ways to form these connections.

Esteban has created a worksheet for you to remember the ingredients from the course and space for you to jot down your takeaways. Feel free to use this as a guide for an end of class summary or just to print and use as inspiration in your workspace.

Here are the 10 Creative Challenges:

Design the worst ______ ever.
1. Fill in the blank with something you encounter in your creative process.
Write a 6 word short story.
1. Modify the medium to fit your creative field: draw, write, etc.
2. Consider your setting and your character’s journey. The key is to set creative limitations.
Brainstorm the world’s most incredible couch.
1. You can replace “couch” with anything relevant to your creative field.
2. Thing big! No constraints, and no self-editing.
Juxtapose 2 unrelated things that you interact with creatively to come up with at least 5 ideas.
1. The more unrelated the two things are, the better!
The Iceberg: Start with one idea or concept at the top of your “iceberg.” Then, go below the surface of the water to generate 3 ideas, then 5, then 7.
Re-designing an Object: Observe an object near you and write out 10 design aspects that you hadn’t noticed. Then, re-design the object around one of those specific aspects.
1. Try doing this with an object or inspiring piece of work that ties to your creative field.
The 5 W’s and 1 H for your creativity: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How...do you feel most creative?
Bio-Inspiration: Pick something in nature that inspires you, then use it as a jumping off point to design something related to your work
1. [Something in Nature] x [Your Creative Work] = A Unique Idea
Break your biggest goal down into tiny actions.
1. Take 2 minutes to write down 3 or more tiny actions you can take.
2. Prioritize and scaffold your tiny actions to move forward towards your big goal.
Build your Creative System
1. Define the key elements in your creative system needed for you to grow (e.g. practice, receiving feedback, going into nature).
2. Design your ideal 30 minute, 60 minute, and 90 minute creative work sessions. How do you start? How do you work through blocks? How do you end?
3. Make one commitment to your own creative growth.
