How drawing helps you think | Ralph Ammer | TEDxTUM

You don’t have to be an artist to draw! In this beautifully illustrated talk, Ralph Ammer shows how drawing your thoughts can be a powerful tool for improving your thinking, creativity and communication. He wants you to believe in your drawing abilities, and provides numerous exercises to help you get started. Ralph Ammer is a professor at the Munich University of Applied Sciences and teaches biophilic design, which aims to create life-friendly objects, images, and services based on nature. Ralph believes in the diversity of 21st century craftsmen, regardless of whether they produce well-written programming code, carefully crafted prints, or the occasional ceramic vessel. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
