Agenda

πŸ•‘: 01:00 PM - 01:15 PM
Tea and Coffee on arrival

Info: A little intro to the class, meet your fellow classmates


πŸ•‘: 01:15 PM - 01:30 PM
Let's get loose

Info: A couple quick doodle games to prepare our minds for some creative drawing action. Worried that you can't draw? Not to worry, these games are designed to prove that yes, you can draw. If you can hold a pen, you can draw.


πŸ•‘: 01:30 PM - 02:00 PM
Your tools and basic lettering

Info: Lettering needs some attention; you could take several days and several hours of courses on this topic. This is just a little taster for tips on how to make your lettering legible and a few tricks with markers.


πŸ•‘: 02:00 AM - 02:30 PM
Break it up with Containers and Bullets

Info: Before we get into creating our meeting sketchnotes into a format everyone can roll with, we need to learn some techniques to organise the information when it comes firing our way. These techniques will help with that.


πŸ•‘: 02:30 PM - 03:00 PM
Break time!

Info: Creativity needs space. Use this time to talk to each other about your work, yourselves and how you want to use the techniques learned on the day. You can also ask me any questions about what you're learning. I'm here to help.


πŸ•‘: 03:00 PM - 03:45 PM
Fun with Icons

Info: Learn how to draw some simple icons to help bring clarity to your sketchnotes.


πŸ•‘: 03:45 PM - 04:15 PM
Now let's do the work

Info: The best way to learn new techniques is to get stuck in. Don't sweat it. You've learned what is needed for this practice round. You will listen to a brief previously recorded meeting. We'll take our time, pause, reflect, draw.


πŸ•‘: 04:45 PM - 04:30 PM
and....that's a wrap!

Info: Let's review! What did you learn. How will you use sketchnotes for your workshops and meetings? Have any questions? Now is your time to ask.
