More Painting On Water
Painting On Water Workshop at CPSI 2010 on Thursday, June 24, 2010
Do you need more creativity confidence, or do you just want some? It is the secret ingredient to success in life. An appropriate dash of creativity spices up life. On the other hand, too much confidence spoils the relationship of you and those around you. The real test is when you face uncharted waters, chaos and uncertainties in business and personal life. Take the challenge. In this one-of-a-kind workshop developed by an engineer and award-winning artist, you will learn by doing; it's a 100% experiential experience. The basic art of Painting On Water™ - a contemporary version of the ancient Suminagashi (Sue-me-nah-gah-she) - is based on an ancient art of flowing ink on the surface of water, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. Both relaxing and energizing, this most requested creativity workshop is known to be fun and unique. Highly recommended for those who can’t draw or paint. Ideal for those who say they are not artistic. Suitable for anyone who thrives on creativity. It helps to have a curious attitude. No pre-requisites. Must be 21% open-minded. No drop-ins.

ACE Workshop
Since the public workshop was announced, here is a report on what happened.
The ACE conference was held from May 6 to 8th in Atlanta, Georgia at Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University, the center for Business Innovation and Creativity. The session was scheduled first thing on Friday morning.
The room was packed with attendees from both business and education sectors. They pushed their own comfort zone. They dared to do something different and innovative. They experienced Painting On Water™ for the first time with an open mind.
When asked why they showed up, they gave the reasons ranging from being curiosity to a deep desire to enhance their innovation and problem solving skills. They laughed, learned and bonded. It sure made it worthwhile to be up early and share with such an enthusiastic group of life-time learners. To all the attendees, thanks for sharing the time together.
