We learn lots but not all of it sticks. The reason is in our dominant learning style. As Visual / Kinesthetic learners, there’s a secret to help artists make the things we learn stick.

Hi there. John Paul Fischbach, the CEO and Chief Alchemist here at the Auspicious Arts Incubator with this week’s Hot Tip. I thought it was important to go over a concept that is really important to us as artists if we want to work smarter but not just harder we need to learn some new skills but in order to learn something new and have it change the way we work we have to understand how it is that artists learn.
I want to revisit a tip that I gave you that was number 39 just to give you a little more background on the secret to how we learn as artists. Most of us we are visual kinesthetic learners meaning that we need to be able to see it and we also need to experience it, to touch it, to move, to feel it. The benefit of learning this way is that when we physically experience that thing that we observed we’ve got it for life.
The down side to being a visual kinesthetic learner is that if we dont experience it physically it doesn’t sink in at all so the best recipe for us to learn something new and make it part of our new way of being is to follow this special super complicated formula. It’s called Learn Do.
When there’s something that you’re curious about go learn but then immediately go do it. Then what do you do? You go learn something else and then go do that. Then you what else you do? You go learn something else and then you go do that. That’s the way that we work. That’s how we can be smarter. Work smarter not work harder. Learn it do it. Learn it do it.
That’s all there is to it but it’s important for us to know that. It’s important for us to know that if we dont do it it won’t change the way we work and we’ll eventually forget it.
