Major in Imagination at Kreativity Kollage – Jeanne
Schlesinger & Carrie Williams
Genuine
creativity is much more than a catchword or cliche.
Genuine creativity has everything to do with using our
imagination. In this session you will learn what inhibits
your creativity, how to tap into your imagination (we all
have it), how to use your imagination and creativity for
problem solving, and to feel invigorated and inspired with
your imaginative potential. You won’t just hear about
imagination, you’ll experience it with hands-on exercises
designed to activate it. You will work with a wide variety
of artistic stimuli, imagining objects that can only be
seen in close-up using word games to stimulate new ideas.
Participants will work in small groups to problem solve
and much more.
Jeanne Schlesinger is an
Assistant Professor and the Director of Instructional
Development for the School of Medicine’s Office of Faculty
and Instructional Development at VCU.
She has an M.Ed. in.Adult Education and Human
Resource Development.
In her day job, she develops computer based
programs for medical students in collaboration with School
of Medicine faculty.
In her imagination, Jeanne has been a former large
animal veterinarian, a world class finger painter, an
opera singer, an internationally renowned gymnast, a deep
sea diver, and a disciple of Carl Jung.
In reality, she is a passionate amateur
photographer, a violinist, gourmet cook, cyclist, and
student of dreams.
Carrie Williams is a
Multimedia Editor in the School of Medicine’s Office of
Faculty and Instructional Development at VCU.
Her works includes assisting with the development
of computer based instructional material to support the
medical school curriculum. She is the proud mother of a beautiful three year old dizzy
dalmation (a biological miracle!) and two spooky black
cats. Her
hobbies include reading indiscriminately, writing creative
non-fiction, taking classes, cooking for family and
friends, and trying to coin a new and imaginative term for
creativity to replace the tired, worn out
expression,“thinking outside the box.”
Carrie is enrolled in the Writing & Rhetoric
program at VCU.

Flash Animation Techniques – Susana Halpine
Macromedia
Flash is actually several software programs rolled into
one. It is an excellent program for creating scaleable
vector illustrations, for generating storyboards and
developing animations and for building freehand pen tool
and shape morphing capabilities. Its extensive importing
features allow con-tent
created
in other programs, such as book illustrations or
photographs, to be used within animations. A review of the
top Flash websites is included to demonstrate the software’s
capabilities and spark implementation ideas.
Susana Maria Halpine
received her Master’s degree while simultaneously
working at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Columbia
University and exhibiting her paintings in New York City
galleries. She
then combined these interests as the Biochemist at the
National Gallery of Art.
Now
working in Los Angels as a multimedia developer, her
current goal is to present educational concepts in an
interactive, visual format.
She uses Macromedia Flash as her primary software
tool. Her
recent projects for the publisher, W. H. Freeman, include
CD-ROM’s and companion websites for college-level
science textbooks such as Lodish
Molecular Cell Biology, Purves
Life Biology, and Kuby
Immunology.

workshop will present several examples of biomedical
subject matter that have been visualized more effectively

explored in detail, providing an array of tools that can
be applied to design problems without the need to invest
in any design software beyond PowerPoint itself.
