Finding Momentum in 'The Studio'

I’m just coming into my third week of my Fine Art degree at The Ruskin School of Art and wanted to share my approach to creating a sense of momentum in the studios, during the first week in particular. A lot of this follows the points in Paula’s post ‘Techniques for Becoming Unstuck,’ and I’ve found it reassuring to see how quickly it is possible to find a state of flow, in a completely new environment, when you’re consciously trying to be open. Of course, that feeling of flow is fragile and there have been times where I’ve doubted my thoughts and everything has disappeared, but the techniques mentioned have definitely helped to reground me, and I’m feeling excited for the next few weeks.
