Anyone can draw!

Thomas van Daalen

When is the last time you actually drew? Perhaps a scribble on the edge of a noteblock or a quick block diagram on a whiteboard? An attempt at an elephant for your nephew or possibly even last time at school during mandatory drawing class?

At Flatland, we started drawing and never stopped. From our different backgrounds (from industrial design and art school to psychology and international law), we all use, every day, the drawing skills we already had when we were seven years old. Together with our clients, we tackle the most complicated issues. The best sessions are those in which the client takes away our markers and starts drawing himself. This way, we experienced that you don’t need to have drawn all your life to use drawing functionally in your daily practice.

“By making your thinking visual, challenges, projects or innovative ideas are made clear to everyone. As a result, you achieve results much faster.”

Meet the Flatland Academy

From Flatland Academy, we have now trained thousands of participants through in-company training courses, individual classes and comprehensive learning programmes. Our training courses are characterised by the combination of drawing and the use of design methodologies. It is not about beautiful drawings, but about insight and overview, mutual understanding and more fun to move forward together.

Visualising is the way to visualise complex challenges in a simple way. It helps you playfully form clear plans for yourself or your team, generate more and faster ideas or sharpen your thoughts. You will notice that this method delivers tangible results much faster. And results that everyone can understand. And the nice thing is: anyone can do it.

Suitable for all levels

Our guiding principle: no drawing is wrong and you learn by doing! We put you straight to work and help you with functional processes and practical drawing tricks. The experienced Visual Consultants guide you and your organisation through the programme with a quick marker. These programmes are customised according to the specific learning objectives and are suitable for every level.

At the end of a training course, you know you can draw and have expanded this valuable skill to move forward together with more fun!

Let's make an impact in your organisation together!
