Come dive into a full day of stories, music and interactive workshops! The festival coincides each year with World Storytelling Day. This year the theme of "Deep Water" inspires the festival and its tellers. San Diego's stalwart storytellers are joined by Vicki Juditz of Los Angeles, and Irish seanchai, Colin Urwin, who will lead workshops, as well as perform. The day kicks off with a workshop on "Storytelling for Emotional Impact" by Dr. Almena Lowe Mozon, flows to story concerts, an open mic for community tellers, music from students of the Coronado School of the Arts, and specific children's programming. Crowd favorites are "Art and Stories" with Michael Carini painting live on stage while storytellers paint vivid stories with words and movement. The day concludes with "Voices at the Water's Edge" story concert--always a memorable epilogue! Visit: https://storytellersofsandiego.org/ Storytellers of San Diego on Facebook / Instagram

High school and college students graduating in 2026 will have had access to artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT since their freshman year.

This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. Each week there will be a life model. On day one, Ken will introduce a simplified approach to gesture drawing and the fundamentals of figure and head construction. During Weeks 2 and 3, Ken will go deeper into the importance of gesture drawing in relation to constructing and composing longer poses. During the final three weeks, Stephanie will continue to build on Ken’s lessons but will include longer poses that will allow students time to incorporate the basics into an actual process of drawing or painting more finished figures and portraits. Materials: You do not need to buy everything on this list. Only buy materials that relate to the medium you plan to work with, or if you are more advanced, bring your own supplies. On day one you will only need newsprint, a drawing board, vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, and one colored pastel for accents. Charcoal: Soft vine charcoal; 4B charcoal pencil; kneaded eraser; smooth newsprint; drawing board; rags or paper towels. If you prefer graphite: 2B, 4B, and 6B graphite pencils; kneaded eraser; 18” x 24” drawing pad or 18” x 24” smooth newsprint; drawing board.

In this class, Jeff teaches how to efficiently begin and complete a painting. He says, “I focus on a purposeful approach to moving through blocking in an underpainting and understanding how to finish it without overworking. We try to work loose and quickly, so the process of painting is enjoyable.” Materials: Paint: (I like Winsor & Newton) Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Light (or Pale Hue), Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Titanium White. Brushes: #2, #4, #6 (flats). I recommend Robert Simmons Signet brand. Supports: Canvas panels (buy bundle of five for the best price). For class we will be working in small format, 8” x 10” or 9” x 12”. (Please no larger than 12” x 16”.) Other: palette (disposable paper palette is fine); odorless mineral spirits in solvent tank or small tight lid jar; small metal palette knife. If you already have paint and this equipment or similar, perfect. Most important is that you have the four paint colors mentioned, especially Permanent Alizarin Crimson. We will discuss materials more extensively during our first class. For intermediate to advanced students only.
