This blog post will develop over time as I find appropriate resources for improving visual practice.
Face to face paid courses
The Grove are pioneers in visual practice. They have a range of courses, and whilst US centric, they do venture further afield to deliver courses. THIS is the link to their international workshops.
Bikablo run courses internationally. I personally have all of their books and really like their style. (Thanks Gill Greenbaum for the suggestion).
Online paid courses:
Brandy Agerbeck offers online and face to face courses. I have read her books and watched her videos. I am also signed up for her latest online course that comes out in June 2018. Visit her website to see more of her non course resources HERE.
Christina Merkley also offers a range of online and face to face courses.
Drawing for meetings, presentations and trainings. A 4.5 hour UDEMY course. I have not tried it, but the feedback looks good. Price was $9.99 when I looked (8th June 2018).
Let’s Letter Together: A series of different courses by Heather Martinez on lettering. I have taken several of these: Free Neuland course, Lettering with the masters and How to write like an architect, and have found them very solid.
Doodle Institute: Diane Bleck has a range of courses, from initiation in visual practice through to running a successful business.
Graphic Change: Cara Holland offers a range of online courses.
Verbal to visual: Doug Neill offers a range of online courses.
Online free resources
Introduction to visual language is part four of a broader storytelling course available for free on Khan Academy. Thanks Mireille for sharing!

Hi!
In the Face-to-Face Paid Courses category, there’s also the Bikablo Akademie, http://www.bikablo.de. Bikablo offers a robust roster of courses and a cohort of international facilitators, serving countries around the world.
Thanks Jill – I will add!
Hi Andi – Over the last couple of years we’ve been greatly expanding our global offerings. I thought you might be interested in our European programmes this year.
The first is a listing of special workshop opportunities in collaboration with our global partners.
http://www.grove.com/workshops_intl.php
The second is a blog post about our global learning community: Cultivate Collaboration: The Global Learning & Exchange Network (GLEN) http://news.grove.com/2018/05/15/cultivate-collaboration-join-the-glen/
The GLEN has almost as many global members as US members. GLEN member Karolina Iwa (a facilitator and social entrepreneur from Germany) said, “The GLEN is a space for collective sensemaking. We are taking sensemaking into the larger culture. Where are we, and what do we sense is trying to happen, both in us and in the larger collective? What is the reality that we and others are currently not seeing, are not witnessing to its fullest extent?”
Thanks for reaching out Laurie. I will update the text with the link to the international workshops. I couldn’t figure out by reading the GLEN if it was a free or paid for resource and what level / experience was required to join. I hope to meet Karolina at EUVIZ in a few weeks.
Do you know the course “PIXAR IN A BOXTHE ART OF STORYTELLING”? Chapter 4 is about Visual Language. It’s free. See https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/pixar/storytelling/visual-language/v/visual-language
Thanks – I will take a look!
