Becoming An Artist: Take any Creative Project from Concept to Completion

via Skillshare

Overview

Have you ever wanted to create your own comic book, design a line of clothing, write a children’s book or exhibit your artwork? This course will teach you the process used by creative professionals, in nearly every field of art and design, to bring creative projects from concept to completion. 

Brent Eviston is known for his award-winning Art & Science of Drawing series. But some of the most common questions he gets are from students wanting to know how they can use their art skills to create their own unique projects. They recognize that, as important as art skills are, there is a gap between technical skills and the creation of creative projects. This course bridges that gap.

In this course you will select a creative project to work with. Brent will then guide you through the creative process. By the end of the course you will have successfully completed your creative project, whatever it may be. 

What makes this course truly unique is that Brent will go through this process with you. During the creation of this course Brent selected a new project and took it though the same creative process you will go through. You will witness first hand how Brent works his way though the creative process and deals with a wide range of creative challenges.

In this course you’ll learn:

  • How to select the right project to work with.
  • How to generate new ideas and incorporate them into your project. 
  • How to present your work and get feedback from others.
  • How to incorporate feedback into your project. 
  • How to create a Project Plan that will help guide you to the completion of your project. 
  • How to design a Studio System that will ensure you consistently get into the studio to work toward the completion of your project.
  • How to bring your creative project to completion.

You may have some technical art skills, but it’s how you use those skills that count.

It is recommended that you have some basic skills in a field you are passionate about and some ideas for projects you’d like to work with. It is also recommended that you have taken Brent’s Becoming Creative course.
