(Horia Dociu, ArenaNet)In this presentation, all of the wisdom Horia Dociu has gained in his career, from intern to art director, is distilled down to three, simple, honest, and actionable steps that anyone can apply right now to become a better artist instantly. Through years of personal experience, struggling to grow as an artist, being mentored and directed, and ultimately leading, hiring, and teaching artists across all stages of their development, Horia has learned, time and time again, the same three lessons. He's seen artists of all levels face the same challenges, across different disciplines and levels of aptitude, when it comes to strong visual communication. In his lecture, he is going to share those three obvious, but elusive, pillars of improvement with you, in hopes that you'll apply them, and immediately produce more successful work of your own, or help your team members become better artists, instantly!
