Pitch Perfect Portfolio Art Licensing Challenge (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,
Pitch Perfect Portfolio Art Licensing Challenge (Skillshare)

As a creative business owner, I have several different revenue streams to keep my business, Gingiber, going and growing. Art Licensing is very appealing to artists and illustrators because companies essentially “rent” your artwork and put it on their products. I started licensing my art 10 years ago, and I love finding the right licensing partners to work with. You can license illustrations, surface patterns, hand lettered pieces, fine art.... there are so many possibilities.

Over the years I’ve heard from many aspiring licensed artists that they don’t know how to approach companies and art directors, let alone how to organize their growing body of work.
And that sparked an idea: what if I ran a 5 Day Challenge to help artists who need a little guidance? I created a simple framework that I follow for sending out my portfolio, and I’m going to teach you how to do the same with your own existing work.
Join me in the “Pitch Perfect Portfolio” Art Licensing Challenge, where over the course of 5 days I will give you video lessons to guide you through the process of tidying your work and getting it ready to send out into the world. My goal would be that at the end of the "Pitch Perfect Portfolio" 5 Day Challenge that you are ready to email your portfolio to an art director.
Who is ready to join the challenge?

Words Spun Out of Images: Visual and Literary Culture in Nineteenth Century Japan (Coursera)

In their ambition to capture “real life,” Japanese painters, poets, novelists and photographers of the nineteenth century collaborated in ways seldom explored by their European contemporaries. This course offers learners the chance to encounter and appreciate behavior, moral standards and some of the material conditions surrounding Japanese artists in the nineteenth century, in order to renew our assumptions about what artistic “realism” is and what it meant.

Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop (Coursera)

Why just write poems when you can write better ones? This course is built on the notion that the most exciting writing begins after the first draft. It is specifically for folks who believe that writing poems just to express oneself is like using the Internet just for email. After all, poetry can change the way you and your readers think of the world and its inhabitants; it can break new ground for language; turn a blank sheet of paper into a teeming concert of voices and music.
