Transforming Your Creative Ideas into Personal Projects

You’ll start by getting to know Ji Lee, his professional background and some of the personal projects he’s been involved in. He’ll guide you through some of the artists that influence him on a daily basis, as well as the artists who always receive a ‘like’ from him on Instagram.

Ji will encourage you to walk around your block trying to find interesting things to photograph, as an exercise to discover things you didn’t notice before. You’ll also alter photos with drawings to transform them into something else. The goal is to awaken your curiosity and bring you the joy of making things using your creativity.

Next up, you’ll use your talents and skills —whether it’s cooking, drawing, writing, or whatever else— to make something nice for someone special in your life. You’ll learn that personal projects made by passion, not for profit, often take on a life of their own and end up resulting in a creative growth you could have never foreseen.

For the final part of this course, you’ll learn how to package and name your personal projects before turning them into great stories that you can send to media outlets for publication. Ji will give you tips to make the whole process easier and more straightforward.
