I saw a video earlier today, with an artist using a booklet of random art prompts that he used to create a lovely mixed media piece. It challenged him to work with different mediums and subject matter than his usual process, and the results were stunning, incorporating collage, painting with unusual tools (a fork in this case), traditional painting layers, stamping, and sewed-on elements. It still looked like his work in the end, but fresh and different.
