Sketchnotes of Ang Hak Seng's great talk at KM Singapore on Using knowledge to improve the health of Singaporean citizens
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
~Julia Cameron
There's a myth out there that creativity is some kind of magical gift you're given at birth, if you're lucky. The truth is, we're all born with the ability to create. A key part of our creativity lies in the ability to welcome surprises.
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
~John Locke
Surprises often appear when things are examined from a lot of different perspectives. While most may value the perspective of an expert more highly than a child's, highly creative people know it is not unusual for profound insights to come from children or people outside their area of expertise.
Here in your mind you have complete privacy. Here there's no difference between what is and what could be.
~ Chuck Palahniuk
One of the many myths about creative people is that they are highly unsocial. The truth is, creative people are generally as social as anyone else. The act of creating, though, requires time alone.
While alone, wild ideas can be tested without a chance of ridicule. Abstract ideas can be further developed until they are more easily communicated to others. And without the chatter and criticism of others, the person creating is much more likely to honor their intuition when evaluating their creations.
She wished there was some place where she could go to hum it out loud. Some kind of music was too private to sing in a house cram fall of people.
~ Carson McCullers
From Deborah:
It was an honor to do Interpretive Touch Drawing at Seeds of Compassion.
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Images are created through
the touch of fingertips on paper. The process allows for direct expression
of the soul, and can be used for deep therapeutic and spiritual purposes.
In the conference setting, I use Touch Drawing to visually portray the
content and energetic qualities of the lectures and musical performances.
Through the immediacy of the process, I can create 7- 8 drawings per hour.
These drawing were created during the Tuesday event; 'Inspiring Compassion
in Our Youth; Youth and Spiritual Connection Dialogue'. If you attended the
day or are watching it online, you can use these images to enhance the
feeling-tone of the presentations. Think of them as notes from the soul.
All these images will be posted soon on the CONFERENCE ART page at
www.touchdrawing.com. Go there if you would like to order a signed, archival
fine art print. Contact center@touchdrawing.com if you are interested in
purchasing an original or receiving permission to reproduce an image.
Drawings can be enhanced with color. A percentage of any income generated by
these images will be donated to support the ongoing work of Seeds of
Compassion.

Next stage of the journey, the repetition of the journey comes into play. The journey becomes part of your routine and you begin to care less, and just want to get in, hence the blurring of these arrows, and the repetition.

As part of PARK(ing) Day 2009, three members of VizThink Philadelphia set up a SketchPark where members of the public could sit down and draw. And draw they did-diagrams, doodles, landscapes and more.
The idea of the park was to bring visual thinking to the streets, to give people the opportunity to pour their thoughts out on paper in images to help them understand, learn, communicate, and just have fun.
The SketchPark was created by:
VizThink Philadelphia is the Philly local chapter of VizThink, a global community of visual thinkers.
