LIA Cast 23 - Leveling Up Through Play - 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 23 - Leveling Up Through Play

Friday, February 10, 2012 at 3:07PM

Sometimes we can talk ourselves out of having a good time in the visual arts by convincing ourselves that "if it's not work, it's not worth it". And while this can be true, is it an absolute truth? Can one achieve meaningful work in a spirit of play?

In this audio-only episode we use some of our classroom experiences as well as our experiences with video game play to explore the notion of inserting a playfulness into our workflow and approach, while fighting the old assumption that it can't be valuable if we had fun doing it.
