‘Thinking through Drawing’ workshop

Following feedback from my peers and tutor, and reflecting on my micro teach I wanted to develop my creative practice in synthesis with my pedagogy by attending a drawing workshop delivered by Ilga Leimanis.The activities were designed in a way that gave me a different approach to what drawing is for and how it can be used as a learning tool and for problem solving. As a visual thinker and learner I want to find more effective ways of recording information, thoughts and ideas. I want to present information to students in a more inclusive way, using visual methods rather than just images and text based formats, for example, using shapes, colours, mark making as code for aspects of theory, sociopolitical issues, people, community, etc. I want to find ways that appeal to neuro divergent students in particular to allow for more effective communication.

Some of the drawings I produced:

creating a code
connecting
visualising people, ideas, places, emotions
diagram of a creative process
