I had a ball! I’m a visual learner and have always enjoyed drawing….even though I’m not as good at it as I’d like to be. I thought it was very valuable and fun. I already started using it in the trainings I facilitate; instead ofme standing in front of the group pulling ideas from the participants, they each get markers and can write their own responses or add to someone else’s drawing. I also tend to be serious and don’t “play” very much, so I was able to do just that…play! It reminded me of going through the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron; it’s about getting out of your own way and allowing yourself to be creative.~ Kim Scott
