You are dedicated to your craft. You have spent countless hours honing your skills. You have a boundless curiosity for the underlying theories and structure of communicating ideas. You are the artist who finds the connections between your medium and other communications media. You are the artist who relishes in a setback; after all, it's a new opportunity to learn and grow. Inspiration is more than a haphazard mode of thought requiring constant nurturing: it is your natural state of mind.

Lean Into Art is where you go when you're ready to push yourself as an artist in new ways. As a place to learn communication arts online it combines an art-journaling approach, the best of live and time-shifted classes, and a recognition system that encourages students to finish projects, give feedback, even participate in teaching.

It's a big art challenge - that's why we put the enticing warning in the name. You have to lean into it.

LIA Cast 03 - My Daily Burden

This time we talk about that critical moment in our lives when we discovered that we genuinely loved to learn, which spirals out into some talk on our favorite and least favorite educational experiences.

We than spend some time talking about the value of community art challenges, and ruminate a bit on what kinds of challenges we might launch within the Lean Into Art community.

We close with a little news on what's happening on the Lean Into Art website as we gear up for 30 Classes in 30 Days. Have you signed up yet? It's going to be fun.
