A unique series of four classes in which we learn about, experiment with, and practice brain-science-based approaches to writing. Find out how to implement new ways to overcome mental blocks, trigger creativity, generate three-dimensional characters, find the elusive Unexpected Plot Idea, and more—all centered on information gleaned from cognitive science. The first part of each class will be devoted to theory and practice: what cognitive science has to say about one of the topics, along with instruction in practical tools and techniques for transforming that theory into practice. In the second part, we will talk about what we have noticed implementing the tools from the previous week—results we can discuss and examine together. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Painting using imagery in art is a fun way to tell a visual story. We use black and white photocopies of ancestors (found or real) as the underlying source to paint. This is a way of creating expressiveness with a subject built in. This way of art making can stand up to any art form found in galleries. In this workshop, learn how to incorporate painted photocopies in your work. Also, learn how to properly adhere paper seamlessly (to a canvas or board) without causing bubbles or creases. Students walk away with several paintings and a good understanding of this fun process. Materials: The $40 fee paid to the instructor at first class includes images, mediums, varnish, and 8" x 10" canvases and use of brushes, palette knife, markers, burnishing tool, gloves, paints. Not provided: aprons, palette paper, paper towels and water cans. Feel free to bring your own brushes, paints, palette paper, or any of the above-listed supplies. You may bring your own black and white images to fit 8" x 10" canvases or email jpegs of your images to Lisa to prepare. Images need to be sent to Lisa (lisabebi@gmail.com) by June 14. If you prefer to work with larger than 8" x 10", you must send your selected jpgs to Lisa two weeks prior to the workshop (by June 3) so she can send them out for processing. Email her immediately to let her know your plan and the size of your image(s). There may be an added cost. For those working in a larger format, they must bring their own proper-sized canvas.
