About this FieldTrip

Stick Figures are a surprisingly great way to sketch out all kinds of ideas - big, small, complicated, or just silly.

In a few lines, and with a few pointers, you can create stick figures with personalities, moods, actions, dialogue, and even drama.

So grab a favorite pen or pencil or crayon and some paper, and let’s doodle some stories.

See how simple it can be to let out your imagination and how simple details can change everything!


Agenda

  • Introduce the pieces and parts of the mighty stick figure
  •  Add characteristics, moods, attitudes, and more details, and learn how changing one little thing - and combining things - can make a world of difference
  •  Experiment, answer questions, get suggestions, and probably make ourselves laugh
  • (Sharing your drawings is optional - try things out on your own, or show them and get pointers, it is up to you!)

What to know or bring

  • A favorite pencil or pen (or crayon), and some paper to doodle on

What to expect

Workshop format!

A hands-on session where participants get to build, craft, or create something tangible.

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 4-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
