#Welcome

r/Creativity is a subreddit for users to discuss ideas, techniques, and design in the creation of art.

#Rules

As always, respect and observe reddiquette. Be sure to follow these subreddit-specific rules as well.

No harassment of other users. This means no continuous instigation, trolling, or slurs targeting posters. Comments/submissions violating this rule will be removed.
Meta posts should be tagged [META]. Original content (submitted material that was made by the submitter) should be tagged [OC].
The work of other artists must be accompanied by background or interpretation in the comments.
Articles must be constructive in some way (no clickbait).

#What belongs here?

This subreddit is broad in nature. Post anything relating to creativity here, such as a piece of art you made following the oblique strategies card set, analyses of color theory, tricks for digital audio workstations, and so forth. Original content, such as paintings, drawings, music, fiction, film, and any other form of art are allowed, but must be marked as [OC] (rule two).

Posting the works of other artists is allowed, but must be accompanied by some sort of background or interpretation in the comments to incite discussion (rule three).

Do not bother posting articles from clickbait sites. All articles must be constructive, incite discussion, or offer thoughts on art/creativity. One way to decide clickbait: is the title a thesis statement, or a sensational hook? Hooks are actually okay but the point is the article has to argue something legitimate (rule four).

#Saturday critiques

Every Saturday, a critique thread will be made for users to dump original content they are seeking feedback on. Since it's a small subreddit, u/Rossegut will attempt to meaningfully respond to every poster. Please go easy on me.
