    Work In Progress with Clara Lieu

    Need some serious encouragement today? Listen to this conversation I had with with Clara Lieu. She is the founder of Art Prof, which is a free online resource for learning visual arts! She was an adjunct professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she taught in the departments of Foundation Studies, Printmaking, Painting, and Illustration. She’s done many other things in the “art world,” but now she and her team create a huge online library of instructional materials for anyone who wants to learn how to draw, paint, illustrate, sculpt, and more! We touch on some really helpful points, like: Being intellectually diverse Giving yourself “little sandboxes” to play in Scoffers and snobs Being willing to learn, over and over again You don’t have to have it all figured out The importance of getting good feedback early in your process Failure is critical–bad drawings are REQUIRED “Imposter Syndrome” and other unhelpful mindsets Clara’s thoughts on these matters are so heartening. You’ll keep coming back to this episode when you are feeling down about your art practice or skills. Art Prof’s Curricula & Resources Artists mentioned: Stephen Hillenburg - Spongebob illustrator Robert Lang - Turned from science to origami --- Episode intro/outro music: Dansu- All You Got, MusicBed

    How We Met

    This week’s episode is kinda personal. I took questions from you on Instagram a couple of weeks ago asking what you’d like for me to discuss with my dear husband on air. I thought Caleb (Nachtigall) would make a perfect guest, because he was homeschooled K-12! If there was ever a person who embodied education being “an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life,” it’s him. This episode covers more intimate topics (that I have honestly had a hard time publishing): How we met Our testimonies of faith in Christ We beatbox duet for 8 seconds--so you have to stick around until the end His beard care routine Hopefully, you enjoy our banter and our answers to the frequently asked “personal” questions in the wrap-up to this series. Find Caleb @kingsfelldice, or at kingsfell.com. --- For extra fun, join my Brush Club Newsletter, follow me on Instagram @bestowingthebrush, and check out my lessons on YouTube as well! You already know about my full-length video courses, but if not, go here! Episode intro/outro music: Dansu- All You Got, MusicBed

    My Homeschooled Husband

    My husband, Caleb, talks with me about his favorite memories of being homeschooled K-12, what we really think of the Charlotte Mason method, his homeschooling philosophy in general, and about the husband’s role in home education. What are your family’s educational values? Can you define them? Do they change? Caleb also debunks the “Homeschoolers are under-socialized” myth, and he tells us about where his art degree got him...but also what he did to self-educate his way into a few different career paths over the last ten years. If you’re not doing the Charlotte Mason method perfectly, like us, then this episode is for you. For extra fun, join my Brush Club Newsletter, follow me on Instagram @bestowingthebrush, and check out my lessons on YouTube as well!

    Art Is War with Tilly Dillehay

    We all have to deal with glory. As image-bearers, each of us carries borrowed glory from the Father. As we look at each other and see the glory we each have, it’s natural for our hearts to envy, rather than to glorify God. Today, Tilly Dillehay (author/ blogger/ podcaster) helps us sort through the topic of envy. She clarifies how this sin plays out from one image-bearer to another, especially with artists. You’re going to want to read her book whether or not you are an artist, because her insights are so true and convicting! Listen in. Read her here: Broken Bread Seeing Green “Dear Hemlock Series” Tilly & Justin’s blog: https://justinandtilly.com/ She was influenced by: C.S. Lewis The Weight of Glory Listen to Tilly’s podcast with Abigail Dodds: Home Fires Music credit: Dansu- All You Got, MusicBed
