Communicate ideas through Drawing and Play

Communicate ideas through Drawing and Play

Ideas are virtually worthless until they are put on paper.  Many of us know this, but often we “draw” our ideas using drawing apps or using words. We need to DRAW them out!  Drawing uses the right side of the brain, the creative side  The more we draw and exercise that hemisphere, the more our ideas can develop - as well as come up with more ideas. Visual Thinking is not about artistry - it is closer to doodling. Drawing for VT is for communicating, not for framing (though, some doodles are often worth framing).  In this presentation we’ll draw and play and learn how and why to integrate this tool in our work.

1. Visual Thinking is drawing to communicate - not artistry
   
2. How to build a ‘tool box’ of drawn elements
3. You can have fun while developing ideas
