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.

Creating Characters with Character
Presented by: Jonathan Roth and Paul Noth
Stories begin with characters. And the best characters have…character. 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.

The Story of a Name
Presented by: Dawn Little
Names influence who we are and how others view us; join us as we brainstorm individual explanations of the personal or traditional meaning, importance, or origin of your name. Create a name card and illustrate the symbolic meaning behind your name.

A Thousand Words in a Picture
Presented by: Henry N. Caballero
You’ve heard the expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” In this workshop participants will work with photos to develop the use of details to improve their creative writing. Participants will learn how to use photos to develop their critical thinking, organize their ideas, develop detailed fictional characters, scenes, dialogue, etc. and base their story or poem on the details of a photo.

Journal Writing for Young Sports Fans
Presented by: Fred Bowen
Be a sportswriter. Cover your own team or even a pro team. 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 and advice. Participants will learn what to put in their journal (rosters, game schedules) and how to think and write in new ways about the games they play and love.

Comics Collider: A Drawing Game Show
Presented by: Dave Roman
Join in this fast-paced game show where kid cartoonists face off in a series of fun-filled drawing challenges! Audience members will provide suggestions and add to the creation of totally improvised epic drawings!
Dave was joined by Alex Graudins and Andy Hirsch.

Make the Story Yours
Presented by: Robin Stevens Payes
This interactive workshop is designed for young writers to learn how to envision and share their dreams for the future. Robin Stevens Payes guides young dreamers through exercises to create and share their own selfie-storytelling moment through prompts, improvisation, doodling and exercising their imaginations.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you. Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me. If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
