TFAC062 - Visual Facilitation Practices: Level 1
Course Description
In this course, you'll dive into a very hands-on, practical introduction to the basic drawing and lettering skills that support a variety of visual facilitation and note-taking practices (e.g., graphic recording, graphic facilitation, Sketchnotes™). You'll have the opportunity to experiment with live, large-scale visual work on walls and smaller-scale work on flip charts, letter-size paper, and notebooks or digital tablets.
Throughout the course, you'll explore drawing your way toward integrating more visuals into your life and work. NO art or drawing background needed!
