Intro to Graphic Recording Workshop: May 21-22, 2011

Introduction to Graphic Recording
with Lynn Carruthers and Emily Shepard

May 21 & 22, Downtown San Francisco, 10am-5pm, $700.00

www.intro2gr.com

• Are you intrigued by graphic recording, looking for a safe place to learn the basics and see what it's like standing in front of that big piece of paper?
• Do you want more confidence in writing clearly and quickly with markers?
• Are you ready to learn a bunch of fun and easy icons, and the basics of simple drawing skills?
• Would you like to improve your listening skills when capturing a speaker or discussion?

Graphic Recording is the real-time documentation of a meeting discussion, strategy session, or speaker. A graphic recorder tracks the conversation, and captures the key points and ideas with words and images on large format paper. This allows the participants in the meeting to literally see what they are hearing, and provides another way to take in the information.

Keeping reading for a description of the workshop...

Incorporating images in the recordings helps people to understand and remember concepts, and can accelerate their learning and working processes.  The recordings also serve as a tool to help a group as they move forward ~ by serving as a dynamic record of their meeting discussions and agreements.

This class is designed for people who work with groups and want to break free of flipcharts, for people who want to learn to think more visually, for people who have never attempted recording before, for people who have been itching to jump up and grab a marker! Great for teachers, consultants, coaches, trainers, and you!

The workshop will cover, among many topics: how to listen for the "nuggets" of information, lettering and titling techniques, key ways to organize information, step by step instructions for drawing people, buildings, light bulbs, and lots more easy icons.

There will be plenty of time to practice recording, learn from one another, and see lots of samples of other people's work. We will also introduce you to the many resources that are out there  ~ to inspire you, and help you continue your learning.

Included in your $700.00 registration fee: Lunch, drinks and snacks both days and all the paper/supplies you'll need

Reserve your spot today. Space is limited!
