LIA Cast 60 - Storytelling to Make Your Presence Awesome - Lean Into Art - Art Center for Visual Storytellers

Top

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 60 - Storytelling to Make Your Presence Awesome

Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 10:33PM

Many of us visual storytellers choose this line because it affords us the ability to hold up in a studio, away from the public. But more and more it seems that being a professional artist means getting one's self "out there." Does this mean we should take diction classes, attend networking seminars, or sign up for coaching from social media gurus? What if we already have the skills necessary to engage with the public?

This week we borrow from Rob's Storytelling to Make Your Comic's UI Awesome workshop playbook and examine how we visual storytellers have all the tools at our disposal to engage with others; whether it's to lead a presentation, get involved in your local scene, or just engaging with others online.
