Tackling Art Block
Let's first understand what is Art Block.
In simple words, Art block is what you experience when you really want to create art or do something but can't figure out a 'great' way to do it
You can figure out a good way, but you're not looking for that and hence, Art Block.
people do confuse art block with a sudden downgrade in skill or will and it is surely not that.

References
Consider it the most cliche but effective way.
Now when you are looking for references, you need to make sure you make a moodboard (a place or file where you stack all the references)

Learn To Imagine Looking At Simple Objects
If there's one thing that you won't find on the internet or any references website is your imagination.

The Name Of The Concept Itself
Everytime you want to create something and you can't come up with something, then generate a random name online.
It will take you less than a minute but you'll no longer call it art block, you'll just call it 'xyz' (name generated)
This way, even though you haven't started at all, you do have a name for your project.
And if you think, this wont work then I'll just say
All the big companies first come up with the name

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
