Creating art from idea to finished product doesn’t just magically happen over night. Art (be it music, visual arts, written word, spoken word, film or even something else) is all intentional. In this class we will explore what it means to be an artist, both from a philosophical point of view and a practical industry perspective. This course will cover topics including creativity as a habit, your personal brand aesthetics, project planning, and sustaining your artistic involvement. Whether it's a hobby or a career, it is our hope that through this class, expressing yourself artistically will no longer be a mystery and will become something you practice and continue to learn the rest of your life.
