In this workshop, participants will deepen their character work and learn how to craft a compelling memoir scene complete with description, details and dialogue that will bring the written word to life. A deeper understanding of the two voices of memoir will be explored; the voice of innocence and the voice of experience.

Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self.

Note: There will be no class on March 31 (Easter Weekend) or April 6 (San Diego Writers Festival)! For more information visit: writeyourstorynow.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

Botticelli and Florence, 1434-94: Politics, Patronage, and Paranoia 15th-century Florence was laden with treachery, conspiracy, and paranoia, a striking backdrop to the artistic flourishing facilitated by the family ruling the city from behind the scenes—the Medici. We'll follow the development of political tension and turmoil at the dawn of the Renaissance, examining how art became weaponized as propaganda by the Florentine state. Looking closely at the work of Botticelli and his contemporaries, we'll discuss altarpieces, portraits, and wedding gifts, recognizing the potential for artists' lives and work to serve as a window into their time in history. About Weili Jin: Weili Jin has been passionate about the history of art ever since first seeing Botticelli in the second grade. Ten years later, he continues to specialize in the paintings of Renaissance Florence, particularly the patronage of the Medici. Most recently, he has worked to develop the YouTube channel “Narrative Art History,” a lecture series that contextualizes Renaissance art in a continuous, chronological narrative.
