Decide on a project. Think about what you want to do; to get started, pare it down to one project.
Gather the materials. In this approach to making artwork at home (to jump start the process), it is only necessary to have on hand the particular supplies that you will need for your chosen project.
Create a space. To move forward, use an art board. The art board contains the project and creates a level workspace; you can move the art board to different areas of the house, as the home circumstances dictate. The art board also keeps the inevitable mess self-contained. A piece of half-inch plywood works well for an art board; a big piece of clean cardboard will also do the job. Organize the art board, so that all materials and spillover stay on the art board during the creative process.
Find the natural rhythm. At home, there may be existing conditions that require a work around. Do not buck the tide; use the kitchen table, if that is the only available workspace. Try not to require the other household members to share in your passion for the project. This demanding approach is an energy drain and manifests as a distraction. When the creative process enters the zone, it will not matter. The trick is to find or create "the zone." Move the project from place to place and try different spaces around the house at different times of the day. Once a creative rhythm finds a track, both in terms of a time frame that works with the other activities taking place at home and a location that will suffice, the creative process has a tendency to become a self-supporting system. However, the creative act remains vulnerable to contrary forces even at the best of times. Keeping a low profile at the start of your art project will allow you to channel your energies into the realm of creativity and imagination.
