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 49 - Authenticity

This week we take on what we find to be a slippery topic. How do we know when we're being authentic in our work? How do we think about honesty in our expressions? Can one remain honest while still attempting to manipulate an audience?

We land on four items of consideration that inform our own senses of how authenticity works:

  • Venue
  • Audience
  • Core Values/Mission
  • Context
