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 25 - Buying the Couch Before You Move

We've often advocated just diving in and making small projects, like mini-comics, to engage with the creative arts and level up a bit. But once you've done that leveling up, how do you manage ambitious or long-term projects?

This time we talk about navigating the Jenga tower of big projects. When do you know the project is ready? How "finished" should the website be before you announce the project? Once underway, how do you know that each piece of the project is complete?
