When we say we get inspiration from nature, it means that we look at the world around us – the trees, animals, mountains, rivers, and everything else – and we find ideas and motivation from them.
Here's a breakdown of what that means:
- Absorbing every detail: This means paying close attention to everything in nature. Not just looking at it, but really studying it and noticing all the small things.
- Endless creation: Nature is always creating new things. Whether it's a flower blooming, a stream carving through rocks, or a bird building a nest, there's always something new to see.
- Textures, shapes, forms: Nature is full of different textures (like the rough bark of a tree or the smooth surface of a lake), shapes (like the roundness of a pebble or the jagged edges of a mountain), and forms (like the graceful curves of a flower petal or the strong lines of a tree trunk). We can find inspiration in all of these.
- Behavior: Animals, plants, and natural phenomena all have their own behaviors. For example, how birds migrate for the winter or how plants bend towards the sun. We can learn from these behaviors and apply them to our own lives or work.
- Processes: Nature has its own processes, like the water cycle or the growth of a seed into a plant. By understanding these processes, we can find inspiration for our own processes, whether it's in art, science, or any other field.
So, basically, when we say we get inspiration from nature, we mean that we look at everything around us – the beauty, the patterns, the behaviors – and we use that to spark our own creativity and ideas.
