LinkedIn Learning: 21 day Drawing Challenge

1h56m * Beginner * Course

I am really excited to begin this project. The centre of this course is improving drawing skills and creative thinking. These are the two points that I identified as areas of improvement in my reflection at the beginning of this Learning Path.

The course covers the importance of doodling. As drawing is the ‘visual vehicle’ for your thought process. Drawing in combination with free thinking is how we discover clever ideas. This course has highlighted to me the importance of exercising creative thinking through doodling.

A study published in the journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology found doodling improves cognition and thinking skills, as well as memory recall by at least 30%.

Day 1

Thoughts on Day 1: I found the exercise quite freeing, I know there is still room for improvement in my creative thinking and believe this is something I will hopefully build on through practice and the next twenty day prompts.

As this course is spanned out over 21 days I have decided I will create an updated blog post 20 days from now which will include all of my drawings over the course of the 20 days as well as a brief reflection on my experience with this challenge.
