Quick - Messy - Get things done - Move things around - START
That's what Brandy Agerbeck says in the 1st Ambassador Live Talk.
She's not talking about self-management techniques or household routines. No, it's about "drawing".
With the 4 quadrants of her “Drawing Quad”, she enables us to gain new perspectives on drawing.
The model isn't new to me, yet it continues to inspire me because it frees me from the unfortunately often far too rigid view that drawings must be perfect. By distinguishing between drawings as a "product" and drawings as a "process," it relieves me of the pressure and, above all, the fear of not delivering a perfect performance as a graphic facilitator. My work is process-oriented.
As Brandy says:
"Process-oriented drawings are actually better when they are quick and messy! It's important to get all ideas down on paper."
Unfortunately, this often gets overlooked in everyday life when we see a perfect graphic recording.
But basically, the motto for this work is: "Process before product!" and "Quickly – messily – get things done – get moving – START!"
But I don't want to give too much away. Be sure to watch the video. Brandy also says something very important about the use of color.
