Learn Visually

Pssst... here's a sneaky preview of the hand drawn storyboard!

Praise for this course:

Inspirational!

Do you know what? This is INSPIRATIONAL! I love the story, the background information, the ideas. It's a fabulous resource. It's also very supportive recognising that it's not always easy to tell a story. 

Sara Collins

Really Good!

I think it was a really good setup - with you telling the story first and then all sorts of different spin offs. Especially I liked the beautiful storyboard, the way you told about your childhood carving and the life in the soil and the learning... 

My Kjellburg

"Very enticing, captivating, well paced, length, clear well done. This story got me engaged, to feel I wanted to hear more, couldn't wait for the outcome. Simple story easy to follow. Use of using not only visualisation, feeling, emotion, smell of the horse- use of our senses to bring story to life!😊 ..and the words you used 'magic' the right word's can add that zest spark and flavour to the mood envoking realism 😊 
Your enthusiasm, use of creating the vision by using your hands. I could visualise your words- the clothes, hat... Your voice changed into the character. Learn't so much. Lovely 😊 xx Thank you"

"An inspiring adventure into storyland"

I found the taster easy to access and well laid out, bursting with ideas for further learning opportunities. I tend to lack a little confidence when telling stories. This is the boost I needed.
