The Dramaturgy of Silly - Lean Into Art

Top

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.

The Dramaturgy of Silly

(Part of the 30 Classes in 30 Days series of Workshops)

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Yet good ideas are hard to come by. This class on improvisational cartoons will not teach you make good ideas, but how to come up with with a lot of ideas in a in a short amount of time. With only stick-figures and sillyness as your weapons, you will create a whole bunch of short comics based on various imagnation-excercises. And with the tools to create an idea out of nothing, hopefully you can shift through the gravel and get to the gold.
