Many people appeared in Sir Ken Robinson’s book “The Element” disliked schools and rightfully so. But public education was a step forward comparing to an age where no education was available to the leas privileged. But it’s time for another learning revolution.

Sir Ken Robinson's humourous work and the greatest gift we could give ourselves.

Day 4 of Sketchnote Challenge, developing my own sketchnote grammar. Idea of the day: turn to nature for inspirations when designing! asknature.org

Finally a sunny ☀️ day in London! Took the day off and had an interesting encounter with a retired professor from Japan

Still figuring things out. Just some thoughts.

Find a good reference photo! Not just clarity, but the right facial expression.

Musings on scriptwriting to be more precise. And how amazing Quentin Tarantino is

After many iterations! Here is the video: https://youtu.be/v2uv04kZ1aA. It’s a lesson on motivation and touches on the social psychology concept - the Overjustification Effect. This is the starting point. Future videos will only get better

Finally filmed the video, now onto editing! Will submit for competition just in time :D

Always remember that - don’t let competitiveness ruin the fun!

Today is the last day of learning and practice for the cartoon challenge! I actually first freaked out a bit realizing how different the caricature drawing felt from the practices I've done before. Then I analyzed the differences - as long as I make the eyes and mouth more realistic, and add some more strokes to the hair, the cartoon practice is still the foundation. After today, cartoons will become part of my daily blog. So more fun & creative works ahead :D

Discovered proko’s course on caricatures, so now I can properly address the pain points :D

Lesson learnt today

Day off from the sketchnote challenge - because I’m sick and couldn’t spend that much time staring at screens. Musings on public commitment and how intentions matters and will change your perspective!

Day 3 of Sketchnote Challenge. Attempted to live sketchnote Alex Blumberg’s talk on the power of audio storytelling.

CreativeLive has a course on sketchnote. I'll go through it tomorrow. You can get it too, referral here will even give you $15 off, only the first 10 though. https://refer.creativelive.com/s/Charlotte81

Worked on the fundamentals of sketchnote, structures, containers, connectors and started to build my own visual icon! Very fun process. What did you learn today?

New 7-day challenge on sketchnote starts tomorrow. Loved Jay’s videos, also his story.

In Japanese TVs, there are often portrayal of families with complete lack of emotional communication, yet it’s been painted as common occurrence. EQ education is urgently needed! Also, check out Ben Yu’s autobiography in progress themed around embracing failure and the story of how he went from having no friends plus suicidal to changing his life around in 2.5 years https://goo.gl/8bWBuu

Happy Easter Brainies! Getting back to my own timetable tomorrow. Feel like I swapped around Easter break to the past couple of days. A good friend is coming to visit end of April. So I have 4 weeks to satisfy my own hunger first before engaging the community! Exciting!
