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.

LIA Cast 79 - Thinking About Your Theme w/Guest Brandon Dayton

Jerzy and Rob are joined by special guest, Brandon Dayton. After exploring a curveball about finding compatible creative associates, collaborators, and friends we delve into our main topic: STORY THEME.

Theme is a storyteller's tool. Every story with a theme is going to reveal some essence about living as expressed by the story's author. We explore theme, where it comes from, and questions like: How do you know if you've found your theme? When you have a theme - how do you know if the elements of your story are conveying or working with your theme?
