An interactive workshop that aims to refine the observational and communication skills of participants through training in visual analysis. Originally developed for medical school students to improve their diagnostic abilities, the workshop has now been expanded to help diverse groups across the university, including business, law, and design. The workshop helps as both a way to enhance observation skills and to improve communication and collaboration. Critical skills for planning, improvement, and change will be demonstrated.
The session includes:
- small-group exercises designed to strengthen comfort with uncertainty
- exercises in attention, description, and interpretation cultivate and deepen participants’ visual literacy, pattern recognition, verbal and listening facilities, tolerance for ambiguity/uncertainty, and cultural awareness
- improving visual acumen, communication, and collaboration
