How drawing helps you think | Ralph Ammer | TEDxTUM

Connect it to personal experiences. As for

drawing

, he is able to build a bridge between personal knowledge of the tree and the abstract term that expresses it. That is, the word, the traditional word. Your need is for this

drawing

to be unconventional, specific and personal. Let's first look at a classic illustration of what always appears on charts around the world: a light bulb. I would say that the light bulb is a conventional idea. It is just a substitute for the word. So it doesn't actually add any real value. On the other hand, if we had a personal illustration, this would be enough to complete what we say with our words.

Thus, if you want to convey an idea with your words, you can help consolidate it with an image or drawing. The fact that this drawing is very personal is not a problem; Therein lies the power of the idea. Because you are able to guide others through your personal expression to communicate with them and understand your general ideas. For this to happen, these drawings must be as authentic as our words. Well, these are five ways drawing can support your

think

ing. It can ignite our intuition, add beauty to our lives, help us understand, imagine new things and share them with others.

If you make drawing a daily habit, you will greatly improve your

think

ing. Remember, our drawings do not have to be works of art. If it

helps

us think and communicate with others, that is enough. Thank you all. (applause)
