Description of Pictures: Writing Workshops for Children

Let’s Create Fabulous Fishes!
Presented by: Susan Stockdale
Author/illustrator Susan Stockdale will read her picture book, Fabulous Fishes. She will then guide children in exploring different fish shapes, colors and patterns to create their own fish using oil pastels on black paper. They will then write a title for their artwork.

Presented by: Jonathan Roth and Paul Noth

Paul Noth joins chapter book author-Illustrator and local art teacher Jonathan Roth to help kids come up with characters that are fun, interesting and have meaning to the creator. They will brainstorm ideas, draw figures, come up with meaningful motivations and, of course, cool character names.

Participants can discover more about their sport, themselves and the joy of writing, and create a memory book they’ll want to have their whole life. Bowen, Washington Post/KidsPost sports columnist and author of “Quarterback Season” (about a kid who keeps a journal) will provide tips ...More...

2019 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: a four-day jaunt to Massachusetts (Boston, Stockbridge, and Springfield) to experience rain in another state, Asheville, NC to visit Dad and his wife Dixie, four trips to New York City (including the United Nations, Flushing, and the New York Comic-Con), and my 14th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah). Number of photos taken this year: about 582,000.
