How it Works

Resources

• We recommend reviewing our Guide to Art Commissions.

Before the workshop

• Students receive access to the workshop channels in our Discord.
• Hang out in the workshop channels so we can see your artwork and site, and chat about your goals can make the workshop more efficient.

“It was my first time using Discord for a workshop and it ran really smoothly. It was very clear which channels to use and Prof Lieu’s instruction on how to use Discord as we went (just in case) was super comforting.”

• Please know that if you have no experience with Discord, it does take some time to get set up and learn how Discord works.
• Watch this 53 second tour of our Discord for a preview.
• We highly recommend joining several days before the workshop date so you can learn the ropes, troubleshoot any problems, and get help from us to make the workshop run as smoothly as possible for you.

During the workshop

• Each student speaks on voice with Prof Lieu, while showing their sites for commissions, or images of their artwork if they don’t have sites.
• While Prof Lieu and a student are on voice, other students in the workshop make suggestions and interact with each other in the workshop channel.
• There is a Q&A and discussion period where anyone can be on voice.

After the workshop

• A recording of the workshop will be available to workshop participants. The recording will not be available to the public.

Workshop channels access

• Students will continue to have access to the workshop channels.
• The week following the workshop, Prof Lieu will provide feedback and follow up resources.
• After that week, Prof Lieu will answer quick questions, but will not be providing feedback.
