A mnemonic is a tool to help remember facts or a large amount of information. It can be a song, rhyme, acronym, image, or a phrase to help remember a list of facts in a certain order.
The first thing that popped into my head when seeing the word Mnemonic was Roy G Biv. Taught to me by my 9th grade Science teacher, an acronym mnemonic, in order to remember the order of the color spectrum. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. I was told recently that Indigo is no longer considered a color on the spectrum, but for me it always will be.
When I was learning to read music my teacher taught me Treble clef lines (E-G-B-D-F): Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.
I remember an example of a poem Mnemonic my Grandmother taught me. I spent summers visiting my grandparents at their country home on Long Island NY, from the time I was born. Occasionally when the house was filled with guests I slept on a small bed in a corner of my grandparent’s room- I must have been 5 or 6 years old at the time. The bedroom faced West, and the bed I slept in faced a window looking out onto the setting sun. I can remember seeing the sky lit with red as the sun went down and my Grandmother saying “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” and then explaining to me what it meant. Funny how a memory so old has stayed with me my entire life, and often comes to mind when I see the sky lit in red at sunset.

Here I used a cross process filter which made the chunks of ice in the river look more like ocean waves.
