    WORKSHOP SYNOPSIS:
        Discover the 4 aspects of creative thinking and build on your
    personal strengths!  We’ll focus on strategies to generate,
    capture and expand your art ideas, as well as playing (and the
    operative word is PLAYING) with compositional development,
    backgrounds, negative space, and titles. Learn to jumpstart
    your ideas – great for those times when pushing a creativity
    button would be a help to your art and enthusiasm.
        
    Sheila shares her processes and will present hands-on
    exercises and an abundant array of handouts helpful for novice
    to professional.
        
    This workshop also provides a forum wall welcoming any
    ideas, favorite quotes, sources of inspiration and book
    recommendations YOU’D like to share with other artists.
