The Doodling course is aimed at strengthening participants’ self-confidence in their own creative expression.
The “Doodling” course is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to draw visual notes, who needs to enrich their presentations with attention-grabbing elements, or is looking for a suitable tool for creative problem solving. Drawing increases concentration and memorability of information. It is an effective way of recording complex ideas, applicable both individually and in teamwork. Simple drawings are more effective than detailed verbal descriptions. The course is structured in such a way that it guides the participant from drawing basic shapes to storytelling – creating a story from a sequence of images. Anyone can participate in the course, no previous drawing experience is necessary.
