WHAT HAPPENS IN A WORKSHOP

Make the learning
visible.

SAMPLE CURRICULUM

Visual thinking

Turn a messy idea into a useful visual explanation.

  • 01

    Notice the structure

    Collect the important parts of a question. Look for relationships before choosing a shape.

  • 02

    Try three forms

    Create a map, a sequence and a comparison. Notice how the form changes the meaning.

  • 03

    Share and refine

    Ask a partner to explain what they see. Use the gaps to make the next version clearer.

No drawing skills required. Paper, a pen and a question are enough.

    Make the steps explicit

    Create an opening, an explanation and an example with a clear relationship.

  • 03

    Test the explanation

    Use questions and a small task to see what the audience takes away.

SAMPLE CURRICULUM

Creative practice

A repeatable process for noticing, collecting and making.

  • 01

    Build a small collection

    Notice patterns in the things you save and the questions you return to.

  • 02

    Make a quick study

    Limit the materials and the time. Follow a question rather than a finished outcome.

  • 03

    Reflect and repeat

    Record what surprised you and choose one adjustment for the next session.

Beginner friendly. Use familiar tools and materials; no specialist software is needed.
