This lecture (in English) will be held Thursday, November 15 at 7:00 at Lakeland University in Shinjuku.



Here's the biggest misunderstanding most people have about drawing: it's not about making great art. Drawing is a vital part of the way we understand ourselves, understand others and understand the world around us. Drawing is a universal language that we can all learn to speak. Since our earliest ancestors began drawing on cave walls, we've been wired to express ourselves visually. As children, we reach for a crayon with as much excitement as a tree branch. What happens along the way? The World Economic Forum forecasts that creativity will be in the top three most sought after skills by employers in 2020. As we move into a new era, perhaps the most innovative thing we can do is draw on our best technology: our imagination. In this presentation, artist and founder of When In Doubt, Draw Divya Marie Kato will share powerful case studies highlighting the importance of drawing, plus her number one drawing tip!


Divya Marie Kato FRSA, founder of When In Doubt, Draw, is an artist and educator helping people discover the benefits of drawing at home and at work. Empowering people through drawing for over 13 years, she paints and teaches in her drawing school, Atelier Kato Yoyogi, and regularly facilitates corporate and community workshops.
