'Live scribing' is a term for having artwork created live during an event. It has other names like visual minutes, sketch noting, graphic recording and graphic facilitation. It's the process of capturing a live event as engaging colourful visuals. It's a great way to engage and support individuals and teams .
It can take various forms;
Live art is a great way to create engagement, helping teams/attendees retain information once an event has taken place. (90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.)
Live art is a great way to enhance the impact and takeaways from an event.
With the live art I create for clients, all artwork is owned by the clients once it has been created, and can be reused however they like. Often on office walls or social media.
Above are photos from a diverse range of events; a nursing lecture, a team building days and a conference on medical tach at Newcastle University for the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Live scribing can be used for a wide range of events, and I'm always happy to suggest ideas on how best it can be used. If you're thinking it might be useful for your event but not sure how, I'm always happy to chat and offer suggestions.
