Sketching training for education involves a ‘hands-on’ task-based experience on various analog and digital sketching techniques. This immersive learning experience is a practical approach for new age teaching focusing on a key skill for communication, leadership, design and multimedia.
Each training session is centred around the knowledge, skills and application for classroom implementation with suitable teaching strategies for Sketching.
Sketching is a vital skill to any designer. Whether it be an Architect, Industrial Designer, UI/UX Desiger, Director or CEO, sketching is the best method to design, iterate and communicate ideas visually.
Why Sketching?
Sketching and communicating ideas is one of the key attributes in human interactions as well as the innovation & design process. Sketching is not just limited to designers, it occurs in many industries that requires visual communication & ideation (basically anywhere humans are involved!). More recently, it is seen as a desirable skill set for leadership, collaboration and various creative attributes. Best of all, it is 100% learned skill set!
Using various digital and analog mediums such as a pencil, pen, stylus and markers, sketching can help formulate, evolve, create, communicate (and even improve your memory!) through rapid ideation.
