Friends of Lean Into Art
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.
Kasey Van Hise is a graduate of the Cartooning program at the School of Visual Arts and she's the creative force behind the comic Winters in Lavelle.
She enjoys "too many comic books", old RPGs, and sharing her deep understanding of the history and importance of Manga. After all, Manga is a Medium, Not a Genre!
