Are you a visual learner? Are your notes full of little doodles? Can't pay attention in meetings or classes without a pen in your hand?

Then this beginner’s class on visual note-taking is for you! Visual note-taking skills will give you the power to implement visual communication skills in your life, school, or work.

In this class, you will learn the basics of visual note-taking, which is the skill of organizing and capturing information through hand-drawn images and text in real-time.

Ink Factory and its artists have spent many years practicing the art of visual note-taking and have seen how beneficial it can be for you and the people around you.

You’ll learn tips and tricks we use every day and how you can apply our best practices to the content in your own life in a way that makes the most sense for you.

By the end of the class, you will be able to connect more thoughtfully with various types of information and will have discovered a universal way to communicate.

You will follow us behind the scenes as we show you:

Whether you’re an artist, working professional, student, teacher, or just a visual thinker, this class is a great place to start! We designed this course with accessible materials in mind and will provide our recommendations, but as long as you have something to draw on and draw with then you will be able to participate.

These lessons are also applicable for those with any level of drawing skill because we’re of the mindset that the actual act of drawing is more important than the end result.

Once you complete this course, you can also check out our course on developing your drawing skills - Drawing for Beginners Using Simple Shapes and Techniques. This will kickstart your skills in being able to draw almost anything using simple shapes.
