LIA Cast 66 - Reflecting on Last Year, Planning for Next Year - 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.

As 2012 comes to a close, we take the opportunity to talk about a subject that is on a lot of people's minds during this time of year. As some of us make resolutions for the future while reflecting on accomplishments and failures of the past year, we think it might be a good idea to be intentional about this kind of reflection and planning. But what kind of thinking is most useful when planning and reflecting? What resources are out there for us to use as a starting point?
