Often, some people are afraid of expressing feelings in art. They think that they don't have any "talents" in art, or art is hard. Nevertheless, they need to fight the fear of art.
Okay now, you need to think of something creative. That is the first thing in art. If it's hard to think of "creative" ideas, just think of anything that pops into your head at once. Then, think it through in the process, and it would be creative at any point. Or simply look at the place you're sitting. Look at it in 360 degrees around you; you would see many things!
Also, you could doodle random things that you weren't planning to draw. Last year on my first day of fine-arts class, my teacher gave us large pieces of paper that weren't used yet. Then, she told us all to do something very difficult: doodle. She turned on different types of music for us to listen to while we drew crazily onto the gray paper. The passion of art was that great that crayons snapped in two, and fingers became black. You should try that sometime. I personally had a great time doing that activity. So don't think while doing this; make weird shapes and don't try to make it beautiful. Afterwards, find one part of the doodling that makes you get interested. At times, some people try to copy what others did, which isn't original. Sometimes, skimming through the Internet for ideas can be beneficial, too! But most of the times, you should use your very own ideas that came from your left and right brains.

It's quite pressuring of how people expect you to do something BIG and GREAT, but there's a question: How do we make it wonderful and big? Start small. Seriously, you can't just form finished art right away; it's not like magic where your finished product is in your hands in a split second. Time and effort is needed, but most importantly, patience is the key in art. And then, end big.
Here's my advice to you: think a lot deeply in your normal days. If there's a thing that you've got, jot it down! As I've experienced, the ideas that I've thought earlier was forgotten since I didn't go back to it later.
