This document discusses a workshop about envisioning the city of Lleida, Spain from different perspectives. The workshop will have participants use photos of Lleida found online and modify them using the free software programs Cartoonist and GIMP to imagine altered versions of the city's monuments, river, countryside and weather. Over four sessions, participants will learn how to install Cartoonist, modify photos in GIMP by changing sizes and cropping, add captions and effects, and apply various modifications to the images.

2. Visions of Lleida
What does vision mean?
If we look up in a dictionary we will find different meanings for vision.
• a vivid mental image; "he had a vision of his own death"
• sight: the ability to see; the visual faculty
• the perceptual experience of seeing; "the runners emerged from
the trees into his clear vision"; "he had a visual sensation of
intense light"
• imagination: the formation of a mental image of something that
is not perceived as real and is not present to the senses;
"popular imagination created a world of demons"; "imagination
reveals what the world could be"
• a religious or mystical experience of a supernatural appearance;
"he had a vision of the Virgin Mary"
So in this workshop we are going to observe Lleida, our city , from
different visions and points of view: its monuments, the river, the
countryside, the weather…...as they are or as we would like to imagine
them.
We will work with photos and we are going to modify them using different
programs meanly Cartoonist and GIMP, both are free software graphics

converting between different image format.
