Creative Work Archive
Creative Work features the work developed by members in OLLI's Artmaking and Storytelling Courses. This is an archive of featured works:
Personal Essays & Poetry
Powerful, poignant, these member submissions are small and tall tales that are often looking back, playing with memory, learning from experiences, sharing with other generations their experiences.

Previous Work:
Submissions from the Spring 2004 Memoir Writing Course with David Weir
Memoir Writing is a part of the OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE curriculum. David Weir designed this session of Memoir Writing especially for boomers, with an eye on how to investigate your life. In this six week course, participants were given suggestions on how to approach their life story. While there was encouragement, there was no editing provided by the instructor.
When we made a call for submissions for creative material that had been worked on during the spring course, these people responded.
Blogs
Here is a sample of member blogs that were created in Stephen Vincent's course on "Writing & Blogging" from the fall 2005 session.
OLLI-SF State is not responsible for the content on the following websites.
Digital Photography
Members have a keen interest in developing their photographic skills. In the fall 2005, OLLI members learned how to develop slide shows and archives for their work in a course with famed photographer, Marcia Lieberman.
