SUMMARY:Historical Fiction Talk: Using highlights from Icelandic History\, 1918-1944
DESCRIPTION:Sigga of Reykjavikby Solveig Eggerz\nAuthor Solveig Eggerz presents the process of making characters central to a story that is historic in nature—how historic events impact the characters’ lives\, as well as how vibrant characters breathe life into a historic period. The instructor will use scenes from her novel Sigga of Reykjavik (2019) as examples. \nTopics will include: \n\nThe interaction of parallel timelines—how the timelines of fictional characters intersect with “real world” timelines and how they enhance one another.\nHow the skills of fiction-writing (details\, dialogue\, scenes) enhance a non-fiction account.\nHow much history to place on a fictional character’s back before they buckle.\n\nThe program is free. Refreshments will be served. \n.\nAbout the Author: \nSolveig Eggerz\, a native of Iceland\, is a storyteller\, writer\, and teacher. Her award-winning novel\, Seal Woman\, based on historical events\, is set in Iceland\, Germany\, and Poland. Solveig teaches creative writing to diverse populations\, ranging from the Writer’s Center in Bethesda\, MD\, to blind students in Iceland\, to incarcerated persons in Northern Virginia. She is a former reporter for the Alexandria Gazette-Packet. Her essays and stories have appeared in The Delmarva Review\, Palo Alto Review\, and The Northern Virginia Review. \nIn 2008 Solveig published her first novel\, Seal Woman. Her second novel Sigga of Reykjavik was published in March 2019.

View the schedule for upcoming sessions \nLooking for a chance to hone your figure drawing skills? Del Ray Artisans offers a range of open life drawing sessions for just this purpose. Both nude and clothed models are featured. (Models will be nude unless otherwise noted.) These sessions operate on a drop-in basis so there is no need to register in advance. Bring your supplies and join us at the gallery to draw or paint from our live models. We don’t supply easels but you are welcome to bring your own if you want to use one. Please no acrylics or oils; pastels\, watercolor and ink are permissible. All skill levels are welcome. \nThe fee for each three-hour session is $10 for DRA members and $12 for non-members. Two-hour sessions are $8 for members and $10 for non-members. \nLong Pose Sessions\nIf you want to spend an extended amount of time on a pose\, come to our long pose sessions. These sessions are generally composed of two long poses with perhaps a few warm-ups at the start.

The program is focused on supporting relationships in removing artistic blocks and fostering confidence. The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path To Higher Creativity is a self-help book by author Julia Cameron. The book was originally produced to assist individuals with artistic creative recovery\, by teaches techniques and exercises to assist in gaining self-confidence in harnessing creative talents and skills. \nEach week we will meet to discuss each chapter of the book\, our daily journaling practice (via “The Morning Pages”)\, weekly Artist’s Dates that you select to inspire yourself and other insights that you wish to share on this special journey. Each participant will receive The Artist’s Way book and journal for the program\, as well as access to a Facebook Group and a group of other artists and creatives moving through the journey with you. \nNOTE: Materials fee pays for “The Artist’s Way Starter Kit”\, including Cameron’s two most important Artist’s Way tools: “The Artist’s Way” and “The Artist’s Way Morning Pages Journal”. Participants may also bring their own copy of the book and a journal and decline the materials fee. \n\n\nAbout the Instructor: Sharon J.
