About This Workshop
Skillshare student Melinda Pettit
Sticking to a creative practice can take you from where you are today to where you want to be as an artist. It’s also a great way to prioritize your creativity, and build time for self-care into your routine. In this workshop, you’ll join two professional creatives who see their regular practice as a way to explore new styles without pressure or fear, break out of creative ruts, and make creativity a lifestyle. You’ll learn how to find the time you need, structure your practice around a planned challenge, and set achievable and inspiring goals to keep yourself motivated. You define the creative project here so the tools are up to you! All levels welcome.
Workshop Timeline
- Milestone 1: First up, join illustrator, animator, and product designer Rich Armstrong in The Perfect 100-Day Project: Your Guide to Explosive Creative Growth. In this inspiring class, Rich walks you through designing a project focused on growth, exploration, and personal creative discovery. You’ll start this 100-day project during the workshop, and carry it on long after these 4 weeks are through, setting yourself on a new, committed path. Share your project description in the Project Gallery by August 10th.
- Milestone 2: Next, join illustrator Amarilys Henderson in Stick To It: How to Maintain a Creative Practice. With a down-to-earth and practical approach, Amarilys will reinforce Rich’s lessons, with added context and advice around preparation, how to handle days when you’re busy or tired, how to think about your own personal challenge, and how to re-energize yourself when motivation lags. Share the first few creations from your 100-day project in the Project Gallery by August 24th.
