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.

Extra Lean 14 - Earnest and Unapologetic

DateThursday, June 27, 2013 at 6:35PM

In this Extra Lean Jerzy is fired-up and shares an annecdote with Rob about how a coffee shop conversation about classic cartoons leads to awkwardness. The kind of awkwardness where one earnest stranger loves the subject matter and when another is more interested in making fun. Tastes vary, yet two people with differing tastes have the option to find a way to connect via understanding one another's earnestness.

That description may be too mellow so I'll mention again: JERZY IS FIRED UP!
