A focused drawing session to practise attention and patience
WHY CHOOSE THIS ACTIVITY
This workshop is suited to teams who would benefit from practising focus, patience and careful observation together. It offers a quieter, more contemplative form of creative training, which can be particularly valuable in fast-paced or high-cognition environments. The emphasis is on looking closely, slowing down and noticing details that are often overlooked.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
Participants work from a still life arrangement using pencils, charcoal or other drawing materials. The facilitator introduces simple drawing exercises and techniques to help them capture shape, proportion, light and shadow. The pace is steady and supportive, with space to share insights about what is easy, what is challenging and what changes with sustained attention.
WHY THIS TYPE OF EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Shared drawing practice can be a gentle way to explore how attention and patience show up in team life. As people reflect on what helps them stay present or what distracts them, they often make links to their roles and habits at work. This kind of experience can support more thoughtful, deliberate ways of working both individually and together.
