Art Styles: Find Yours the Real Way!

RISD Adjunct Professor Clara Lieu talks about the process of developing your art style. Style is what makes an artist distinctive and unique, and yet there is no formula or linear path to achieving your own style. For many young artists today, there is immense pressure to have an established style, but this can often times be a detriment to an artist's growth and stifle creative possibilities. By showing examples from art history and contemporary art, Prof Lieu explains about the evolution of an artist's style, and what actionable steps artists can take to find their own style.
