Why drawing?
•Clearer thoughts and concepts : if you can’t draw it you don’t
know it
•Clearer communication and visual impact of ideas and concepts
‘a picture is worth a thousand words’
•Developing the ‘right side of the brain’ Intelligence and memory
•Loosening up and getting people away from comfort zone
•Possibility of fitting in more information in a smaller space to
examine the relation between different elements
•Inclusion of people who cannot read and write - they are often
better at symbol drawing than people with higher levels of
formal education
