Abstract

Sketching is a universal activity but an often overlooked skill – yet it can benefit researchers and practitioners in HCI – sketching has proven to be a valuable addition to skill-sets in academic and industrial contexts. Many individuals lack the confidence to take up sketching after years of non-practice, but it is possible to re-learn, improve, and apply this skill in practical ways. This course is a sketching journey, from scribbles and playful interpretations, to helpful theory, storytelling and practical applications. Attending individuals will learn techniques and applied methods for utilizing sketching within the context of HCI, guided by experienced instructors.
