Welcome video. Introduction. Course Overview.
What you will need to get the most out of this online course course.
Master Graphic Facilitation has a facebook group which we have created for all the students that are enrolled in this online course. In this group you can share your work as well as ask questions.
In this lecture we are going to go through the basic things you will need to complete this course.
In this lecture we are going to talk about the fundamentals. The five simple shapes that are going to make up our whole course.
Here we are going to start expanding our visual vocabulary with the materials that are going to help us create the content.
In this lecture we are going to draw some icons which represent the environment around us.
Still we are going to use the combination of our 5 fundamental shapes and try to transform them into an image which is a bit more complex.
In this video we are going to go through transportation.
We have already covered the most important categories of the icons, that you might need. But there are still more icons that can be useful.

The next section of our visual vocabulary - shades and effects.
In this lecture we are going to learn about the third section of our visual vocabulary. And it’s going to be faces.
We’ve seen how simple lines can change the expression of a cartoon face. Now let's add some shapes to give these cartoons some individuality.
You are already getting better at drawing cartoon characters. Here are 30 examples of different facial expressions that we think might come in handy to expand your visual library.

The next section of our visual vocabulary is signs & platforms.
Your audience must be able to understand what processes are taking place. This brings us to the next section of our visual vocabulary - arrows.
Although visual facilitation is trying to get rid of words and use images instead, if you are looking for the way to a create quality content, text will play a vital part in it.
In the final section of our visual vocabulary we are going to talk about colors. Colors can draw your eye to an image, evoke a certain mood or emotion and even communicate something important without using words at all.
Now that you have skills to use all the seven sections of visual vocabulary. It is time to put the knowledge all together and see how we have created the promo video.
Welcome to the second chapter of our online course. Within this chapter we are going to use all your acquired skills of drawing and the seven section of visual vocabulary.
While preparing for our educational activity, it is always important to have agenda or a timeline of the process somewhere visible for our participants. So in this video we will build together agenda and a timeline.

While we are implementing our educational activities and work closely with flipcharts, it is very important to know how to manage your flipchart and have a your own visual library.
A great visual with a tiny bit of text will make your point better than a slide full of bullet points ever will. Let's try here in this video.
Interesting methods that we can use for group discussion or group idea mapping.
Evaluation and different methods of evaluation.
You already know how to use graphic facilitation for your activities, but for mastering this art you need to go one step further. You need to be able to create your own visual vocabulary. This will enable you to work specifically within your context.
Congratulations! You have made it to the end of this online course.
Graphic facilitation is a method of using visual language to help describe and illustrate the idea that you are conveying. We are all visual thinkers and we can all draw. You can also draw! You don't have to be an artist to put several shapes together. With just a little practice, you will be able to draw memorable icons that will help you lead groups and individuals towards the goal. Graphic facilitation is a powerful tool that can be used to quickly understand the content, push new information into long-term memory and most importantly, inspire people to act.
The course consists of four main sections:
In the introduction section, you are going to learn how to get the most out of this course, what materials we are going to use and how the rest of the course is going to be conducted.
In the second section you will learn how to draw by using 5 simple shapes only. You will learn all the necessary components to create a memorable poster. We are going to start with icons, then learn to incorporate shades and effects in your drawings. After that you will get familiar with drawing faces and facial expressions, platforms and signs to indicate the place, arrows to show the process and text and speech bubbles for bringing clarity. Finally you will learn about color theory, the meaning behind the colors and how to use them in the most correct way possible.
The third section is completely dedicated to using your skills in practice. Here you will learn about the three main phases of a training session and how to use graphic facilitation for making those phases more effective. We will discuss specific examples and give you the templates that can be used in your future work.
The last and the final section is about creating your own visual vocabulary. In this section you will learn how to create icons of your choice step by step. This will enable you to expand your visual library and work specifically within your context.
