Live Workshop Dates April
Sketch Noting - Tuesday 15th April online
In November, I met Rachel Burnham who is a sketch noter, she teaches people to sketch note for their notes in meetings, organise their thoughts, prepare for interviews, as reflection / reflective practice or relaxation.Â
Not all learning is in the classroom, so this is a different way of engaging your mind in a learning activity. I can’t draw and she says this wont stop me.
Rachel will cover:
- Identifying how you can make use of Sketchnoting to help you in your day to day work;
- Have confidence to have a go at drawing simple pictures and graphics; and
- Get started when creating a Sketchnote with practical tips.
You don’t need to be an artist or good at drawing to make use of Sketchnoting – you just need to be willing to have a go!
