Day 3: Define Your Artistic Voice
(We make now a separate post everyday otherwise it gets a bit messy)
Now that youâve explored your "why" behind creating art, it's time to clarify what makes your work unique. Your artistic voice is the distinct way you express yourself through your art, and it sets you apart in a crowded marketplace.
Today's focus: Weâll be working on identifying your unique style and voice, so you can confidently communicate it to your audience.
Questions to guide your reflection:
- What recurring themes or subjects do you notice in your art?
- How would you describe your style (e.g., abstract, realistic, surreal)?
- What colors, textures, or mediums do you find yourself drawn to the most?
- How does your personal life, culture, or experiences influence your work?
- What do people say about your art? (Ask others or reflect on past feedback.)
- If your art had a âvoice,â how would it speak to someone? What story does it tell?
Action Step: Spend 15 minutes reflecting on these questions and write down your thoughts. Donât worry about being too specificâjust capture the essence of your artistic style.
This is about finding clarity, not perfection.
Why this matters: Understanding your artistic voice allows you to communicate more effectively with your audience.
It also makes it easier for potential buyers to connect with your work on a deeper level.
People don't just buy art; they buy the story behind the art!
