To Sketching, And Beyond! A Course of Discovery with Pen and Paper
Article No.: 605, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
The ability to sketch is a gift to yourself and others. It transcends disciplines by its nature as a tool for communication, but is of particular use within HCI and UX where it also enables the design of interactions. Sketching is a low-fidelity, accessible, and plentiful tool and persists despite the advent of digital tools for ideation, prototyping, qualitative research, and publication. Join us on a journey into sketching, whereby you will learn to doodle, storyboard, and express your feelings and experiences via pen and paper. Further, we invite you to explore how to use sketching in teaching and research and sketch possible futures in the HCI space.
