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 24 - Thinking About Design, Pt 2

Friday, February 17, 2012 at 1:54PM

In the second episode of Lean Into Art's Thinking About Design series, Rob and Jerzy take a stroll around the Quadrants of Forces that inform the design of a project (Personal Opinion, Design Principles, Heuristics, and Fashion).

What follows is a discussion about the different inflections of these forces in regards to whether the design is being executed as a service or as a vehicle for self-expression. Also, how do these forces balance or counter-balance when working with a group? Rob and Jerzy use some of their personal experiences to investigate how to negotiate between these forces to design a project that satisfies the needs of the intended audience.
