The reality is creating art with students, using your energy to teach, and day-to-day life can cause us to feel burnt out. In this episode, The Creativity Department speaks with artist, educator, and returning guest Jorge Lucero about recognizing the fantasies we’ve created around the meaning of being an artist. Listen in for a new perspective on creative practice. Learn why it is important and advice on what striking a balance between art making, work, and life could look like.
