Lisa Hoke creates rich, colorful artwork using media such as plastic and paper cups. She finds inspiration for creativity from such mundane objects, yet she uses the cups in a completely unique way to create beautiful pieces of art. Lisa Hoke fill entire walls with swirls of color. At first glance, I expected the artwork to be made of something else—something more “artistic” or “professional.” However, not all art must be made from paint on canvas, or pencil on paper. Artists and designers alike can find inspiration from without. Perhaps the shape and gleam of shimmer on the plastic cups inspired Lisa Hoke to use the cups to make a beautiful piece of artwork. Just as she finds inspiration from random objects, Jackson Pollock found creativity through paint, broken glass, sand, and other media with which he created his art. Pollock said “I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk round it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. This is akin to the methods of the Indian sand painters of the West,” demonstrating his inspiration from a Native American art technique. In design, you should absorb the world around you and observe little details in order to find creativity from without.
