OVERVIEW

This is an introductory course for people of all drawing abilities who are looking to improve their communication and engagement skills at the workplace.

Why Learn Visual Thinking Skills?

The word 'creativity' is often associated with artistic professionals such as entertainers, artists, photographers and other. However, creativity is particularly important in the current fast paced world of digital disruption. It is essential to the process of innovation and the generation of new ideas. In fact it has been named as the 5th must have soft skill for the future according to the World Economic Forum. Humans have been using creative skills to communicate with each other for thousands of years - the first known cave paintings date back 65,000 years. But as we transition from childhood to adulthood, many of us lose our confidence in drawing. Let us help you rebuild that confidence with proven techniques that will help you create impact in your next business meeting or presentation.

This course is for people with all drawing abilities and is a practical hands on learning experience.
