In this episode and the next, we'll talk about what skills you need to learn in order to become an illustrator, especially at first . What are the things you need to learn, and in what order? This is one of the biggest and most confounding questions for beginners. While there is no one-size-fits-all path, there are definitely some basics everyone needs as their foundation. I will tell you what I I think the most important things to learn are at first, and give you a sense of what learning these might look like. By the end of this episode, you will have a clearer picture of where to focus your efforts in the first year or so of your illustration education.HOW TO SUPPORTMy team and I work hard to produce each episode for this podcast.

At age 18 she entered the religious order Immaculate Heart of Mary, eventually teaching in and then heading up the art department at Immaculate Heart College. Her work evolved from figurative and religious to incorporating advertising images and slogans, popular song lyrics, biblical verses, and literature. Throughout the ‘60s, her work became increasingly political, urging viewers to consider poverty, racism, and injustice. In 1968 she left the order and moved to Boston. After 1970, her work evolved into a sparser, introspective style, influenced by living in a new environment, a secular life, and her battles with cancer. She remained active in social causes until her death in 1986. At the time of her death, she had created almost 800 serigraph editions, thousands of watercolors, and innumerable public and private commissions.From https://www.corita.org/about/corita.

This week on Wisdom Wednesdays, Rosie and Katie talk about the importance of embracing the changes in your life. We get different reactions whenever we look at old photos of ourselves. Some of us feel nostalgic, some feel embarrassed, and some are even in disbelief. It could be the old hairstyle, fashion choices, or even the way we posed for those pictures — all these remind us of our humble beginnings. They also remind us how things have changed. As many years passed, you've now embodied not just a different appearance but also varying views, opinions, and principles. As we go through new experiences every day, how can we fully embrace these changes?This episode is brought to you by: Pretty LitterBest Litter EVER! www.prettylitter.com use promo code loved to get 20%OFF your first order!

This week's episode is a conversation with artist Derick Melander. He's a sculptor who works with secondhand clothing to create clothing sculptures that explore the intersection between global consumerism and the intimate relationship we have with what we wear. My dear friend Sacha Jones has known Derick for years through being core members of their Record Club, which started in the late nineties as a place to share music with friends and friends-of-friends.We begin by setting up how we met at a record club on Sacha's roof in the East Village, and the conversation goes on to cover his work, creative habits, navigating change, and much more. We talk about music nostalgia, clothing, textiles, sharing clothing, consumerism, leaving traces, art school, dream work, friendship, family, relationships, connection, socializing and the power of the neighborhood. Show notes:- Find Derick on the Web | Instagram- Heidi Baker's brand Ozma and her episode on the podcast- The Fresh Air episode with Kirsten Dunst I mention- My posts about Sister Corita Kent and her Rules for Students and Teachers- There are a couple of spots open in my one-on-one creative consulting!

Rodrigo Salulima (@rodrigosalulima), founder of Pratique Movimento (@pratiquemovimento) on the Passive Hang! Pratique Movimento is a flourishing movement school based in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. In this wonderful conversation we hear how Rodrigo built the community of Pratique Movimento, sharing his learnings and his approach to growing the school. How did it start? How did it grow? What types of people come to the school? What is his advice to others starting their own movement school? Rodrigo kindly shares his origin story - how he started in movement, and how pratique movimento was born. We also cover his passion for syntropic farming, a regenerative method of cultivating land into a rich ecosystem. Rodrigo draws analogies from the farming practice to the movement practice, such as how syntropic develops from the simple to the complex. A wonderful conversation with a man who really, just loves Movement. If you go to Brazil, it's a must stop destination.

This means finding someone wise or smart & choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.'I choose to go a little off-piste / off-road / off-topic (?) with this one; I interpret this rule in my own way as, in truth, I don't know what Sister Corita Kent intended to mean in this circumstance. Again I talk a lot about my rudimentary learnings in the world of Buddhism, mainly stemming from the time I spent in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery. I talk about how very important it is to have an inner compass that guides you and has a stronger magnetic pull than any external force…In this series I circumambulate (walk around/talk around) the magic of Creativity using the template of 10 Rules that were written by a fascinating woman called Sister Corita Kent.

This week on the podcast we catch up with Olivia Ahmad, a curator at the House of Illustration and the editor of Varoom magazine. Since joining in 2014, Olivia has developed more than 50 exhibitions at the London gallery, celebrating illustration greats like screen-printing nun Sister Corita Kent and unearthing lesser-known narratives as in the current exhibition dedicated to Polish illustrator George Him. In this week’s episode she tells us about tracking down illustrators that have slipped through the cracks of time or have never exhibited before, the need for diversity in museums and galleries and gives us some tips on the dreaded networking.
“Nothing Is a Mistake, There’s No Win and No Fail. There’s Only Make” is the sixth rule of the “10 Rules For Students And Teachers Manifesto”, a list of advices compiled by Sister Corita Kent in 1968. John Cage was delighted with it and did everything he could to popularize the list. Cage’s life partner Merce Cunningham reportedly kept a copy of it posted in his studio until his dying days. The episode features: M. Zalla (Piero Umiliani), Futuro Antico, J.D. Emmanuel, Chaino And His African Percussion Safari, Wayne Siegel, Piotr Kurek, Eden Ahbez, Telaio Magnetico, Archie Shepp & Kahil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio.
Animated film The Breadwinner (co=produced by Angelina Jolie) is the story of a young Afghani girl in Kabul who has to disguise her gender in order to be able to support her family David Shrigley was the curator for this year's Brighton Festival. We went to see Problem in Brighton; described as "an alt-rock/pop pantomime... requiring ear plugs and an open mind". what on earth is one of those?! Sister Corita Kent was an artist, a famously charismatic educator and a Roman Catholic nun based in LA during the 60s. Her vibrant screen-printed banners drew on pop art influences and confronted poverty, racism and war in spite of disapproval from her archdiocese who said her work was blasphemous and communist. An exhibition of her work has just opened in Ditchling in Sussex. Susannah Walker's The Life of Stuff is a memoir of the mess we leave behind. When she has to clear her mother's house, she is confronted by the random collections of a hoarder and reflects on what causes it and what it all means. Anthony Hopkins plays King Lear in modern dress in BBC TV's latest Shakespeare adaptation, directed by Richard Eyre Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Katie Puckrik, Kerry Shale and Susan Jeffreys. The producer is Oliver Jones.
Artist Grace Chin's work is a contrast of the fragile and the forceful. She creates delicate paper flower wreaths that frame strong political slogans. The results are cheerful reminders of positivity in an often turbulent political atmosphere. Listen in as we talk about Grace's political heritage, her love of Sister Corita Kent, and why she thinks it's important to share her struggles online.
