Expressing Yourself With Personal Passion Projects

via Skillshare

Overview

Identify and share your most unique work with Illustrator and Art Director extraordinaire Kevin Lyons. In this 20-minute class, you'll learn how to turn a passion project or piece of work into a solid portfolio piece that demonstrates your creativity. You'll join him in his studio in Brooklyn as he walks through his favorite work, why its effective, and the principles that make them effective portfolio pieces. This class will re-define how you show off your work, and you'll learn how to:

  • Assemble elements for a successful creative portfolio
  • Identify your own unique style and how it can add to that
  • Talk about your work

This class isn't about showing art school assigned “professional” work that you have been told you should be showing. Instead, you'll focus on the work you're really passionate about creating. You'll have a body of work that's cohesive, and not only reflects your skill but isn't afraid to break the mold.

This class is for the aspiring artist and designer looking to get discovered or inject some creativity in their existing body of work. This is your chance to express yourself.
