A picture can paint a thousand words…give rich pictures a try
Oakden, J. ( 2015).The use of rich pictures in evaluation.
“Leave the door open for
the unknown, the door
into the dark. That’s
where the most
important things come
from. … to be lost is to be
fully present … and to be
capable of being in
uncertainty.
Rebecca Solnit

Rich pictures are not
easy to do well (Berg &
Pooley, 2013).
However, with a bit of
planning they are a
useful tool for an
evaluator, particularly
one with strong existing
facilitation skills.
