Drawing Together
Drawing Together is a creative method that uses simple symbols to express complex ideas and emotions, bypassing verbal limitations. This technique is ideal for accessing insights and patterns not easily captured through words, especially when participants are mentally fatigued.
Come eseguirlo
- 1
Introduce the five symbols and their meanings: circle (wholeness), rectangle (support), triangle (goal), spiral (change), star person (relationship).
- 2
Allow participants to practice drawing each symbol.
- 3
Have participants independently create a symbolic story of a challenge or innovation journey using the symbols, without words.
- 4
Invite participants to refine their story by adjusting the size, placement, and color of the symbols.
- 5
In small groups, participants interpret each other's drawings without verbal explanations from the creator.
- 6
Conduct a group discussion to explore collective insights revealed by the drawings.
Suggerimenti
Encourage participants to embrace imperfection in their drawings to foster creativity.
Remind them that the focus is on expression, not artistic skill.
Use this method when traditional verbal methods stall, and be prepared for emotional responses.
Variazioni
Consider using digital tablets for drawing, or start with smaller paper sizes for ease. This method can also be adapted for real-time visual mapping during meetings by adding words to the symbols.
