Visual thinking is quickly gaining popularity as a set of tools to help solve large, complex problems and uncover innovative solutions. Adding visually-oriented thinking techniques – like mind mapping, diagramming and drawing– to your skill set is one of the most powerful ways you can add value to your learning path or work experience.
Sketchnotes are rich visual handwritten notes combining text and visual elements such as shapes and arrows. Regular notes are linear, whereas sketchnotes are nonlinear and encourage active listening, learning and remembering.
Who is this workshop for?
STUDENTS who want to recall key concepts faster.
TEACHERS who want to engage their students in a visual way.
ENTREPRENEURS who want to better explain their ideas quickly.
ANYONE wishing to explore a creative way of taking meaningful notes to support their learning path or work experience.
What will you gain?
- Sharpened active listening skills
- Structured and organised notes in a meaningful way
- Improved memory retention
What will we do?
- Explore creative ways of synthesising ideas into visuals
- Practice mapping information
- Experiment with colour and visual accents to show emotional expression
You do not need to know how to draw.
