Before instruction
Artists have always played a creative role in society, challenging accepted beliefs and discovering new ways of thinking. Producing a work of art, while certainly an activity of vision and inspiration, also requires a mastery of technique and a systematic problem-solving approach.
The Branch Out Project workshops present participants with a series of interactive drawing challenges whose solutions require them to develop their powers of observation, flexibility, resilience and foresight, which are all components of creative thinking and problem-solving. Even reluctant beginners who claim that they “can’t draw a straight line”, are guided through a series of increasingly challenging tasks, and experience a personal “boost” as they gain tangible new skills in a short period of time.
The Branch Out Project has helped nearly 50 organizations in business, government and education develop the visual thinking skills needed for more innovative and effective problem solving at home, in the community and in the workplace.
I recommend The Branch Out Project to corporations looking for a fun and effective way to encourage creative thinking in the workplace. Taking us out of our comfort zone and demystifying the techniques of an artist showed all of us “old dogs” that we could learn new tricks. Thank you for facilitating a very positive experience for us!
