Want to give your presentations, training or writing more impact? Learn how to think like a cartoonist - and discover how visual thinking can breathe new life into the way you communicate.
A workshop for people who present ideas to others as part of the work they do.
Why cartooning? A cartoon can express the essence of a complex idea in a few meaningful lines. In this workshop, cartoonist and writer Martin Shovel will teach you how to draw cartoons that will help you get your ideas across simply and powerfully.
But our workshop is about much more than just cartooning – it’s about getting to the heart of good communication. By the end of the day you’ll be able to communicate your ideas and messages in cartoon form, and you’ll see drawing in a whole new way. Because cartoon thinking can help you become a better speaker and writer, too.
Outline of the day: In the morning we explore what drawing really is, and why everyone can do it. You will learn to draw your own people and animals, expressions, objects and contexts, and you will have the know-how to develop your cartooning as far as you want to take it.
The afternoon session is about ‘thinking like a cartoonist’ and applying your new drawing skills in your work. You will develop cartoon ideas that will be immediately useful to you, and you’ll practise using cartooning to communicate your ideas in the group. The group is kept small to guarantee individual attention.
Do I need to be able to draw to do the course? No, previous drawing experience isn't necessary - just come along with an open mind and you'll soon be cartooning happily.
“A brilliant mix of technical learning (ie how to actually draw some stock images) and how to translate real life situations into cartoon format. I’d recommend the workshop particularly for people who present ideas to others (whether formally or informally) and/or people who work in complex systems or with complex ideas that are in danger of being lost!” (Leanne Draycott, Coventry City Council).
This workshop can also be commissioned as an in-house event for teams and organisations. Contact us at CreativityWorks.net
