4mimizu: I am giving a āvisual thinking courseā for a company next week. The original request was for a āgraphic recorder training course,ā but after listening to what they had to say, we realized that we needed the visual thinking skills that recorders possess when drawing in real time, so we changed the direction of the course.
4mimizu: āI want to be able to grareko!ā When I heard people say āI want to be able to do grarecoā¦
I want to draw a nice stick figure. Iād like to try one at an event. I want to draw a little illustration. I want to draw a note I want to use it for [facilitation I want to do some visual thinking I want to use it for business Hearing is important because it is really disjointed.
4mimimizu: I think āI can grarekoā has as many different ranges as āI can speak Englishā. from the level of being able to greet people to the level of conducting complex negotiations. I want to make the front door wide, but I want to keep showing the depth and possibilities of the endless visual language.
4mimimizu: Visual thinking, in Japan, is somewhat like thinking while drawing a picture, but what and how to think is Visual thinking is a way of thinking while drawing pictures. I donāt think it is yet clear what and how to think visually. I donāt think that mechanically drawing pictures = visual thinking.
4mimimizu: āGrareco makes you logical!ā I feel that the hand skills to draw and the way of thinking are connected, but they are competing against each other. I think itās because the thinking of a person who was originally logical becomes visible visually, and the work of a logical person to translate it into pictures is rare, so maybe it looks like GRARECO = logical.
4mimimizu: Iām glad to see āGralecoā spreading, but itās painful to see the technology there, such as āGraleco will make you logical / make you earn money / find a way to liveā. It pains me to see that there are more expectations than what is expected. The only thing Grareco can do is graphic recording. You need to find a way of thinking, a business mindset, and a way of life separately.
4mimimizu: the trend of ādesign thinkingā attracting too many mysterious expectations, being worshipped by non-existent silver bullet, and being disappointed on its own. I feel that I would like to dismantle the expectations that mysteriously gather around āgrarecoā observed around me each time I see it.
