Developing Your Own Artistic Style
Join Lisa Congdon for three-part series of virtual classes that dive into navigating influence, working through self-doubt and creating long-term habits to develop your very own creative magic.
Finding your style is like uncovering your own superpower.
Your style is what sets you apart from other artists, fads or trends. And ultimately it’s what makes your work interesting, distinctive, worthy of discourse and desired by others.
Finding and defining your style is one of the most important experiences you will ever have as an artist. It isn’t something that magically happens—it’s both an exercise in discipline and a process of discovery that allows for and requires a lot of experimentation and failure.

What students say about The Knack School
Lisa helped me get from A to B in my mind. I went from feeling like “how am I going to do this?” to “I can do this!” I already possessed the power within myself as an artist to lead the way and I realized that my career path is mine to pave.
Lisa’s many years of creative experience, artistic success, personal growth makes her teaching approach conscious of issues of diversity and justice, and accessibility. I appreciate how much she values the integrity of the creative industry and admire her ability to articulate her insights and wealth of information with her students. Thanks to her high standards and authenticity, her classes are game changers.
"As an emerging artist, I benefit a lot from listening to what Lisa has to say. She gave great tips and shared a lot of her own experiences with us. She made me reflect a lot on which direction I want to pursue my career."
