Shut up and draw…

LISTEN

Seeking to understand across language and culture…

Storytelling and inviting meaning-making

The power of making our mark…

Share our identity?

Organize our thoughts

In doing F2F graphic work, new worlds have been opened up to me.

What would they look like online?

Well, it can’t quite be as sensual as eating together, eh?

Learning how to not screw up communicating together online all the time….

Connecting in amazing ways online…

What would a wall-sized graphic be if we did it online?

Can we use images online to help us establish context, make meaning and create memories to continue our experience?

On phone calls, a simple visual practice can help us “see” each other in new ways…

What happens when we organize our words visually?

Could we “write on the table” together online?

Visual harvest from in “in world” World Café in Second Life – February 2008

What would visual remixes in the service of our online networks and groups look like? Collaborative collage online?

Can we draw together online?

Did you say draw? Me draw?

uh oh, the inner censor

Just fricken DO IT!

Practice… letters, straight lines…. or use an electronic tool!

Look at other people’s icons, images and drawings. Collect ideas…

OK, let’s do it

• Grab a pen and paper (or feel free to come up to the wall of paper)

• In 5 minutes, draw something about….• Then lets talk about what happened!

So what?

But you knew that.
