My Storytelling Experience 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Market success sparks a clear engaging story . Storytelling creates authenticity . Authenticity connects to   the behavioral design principle . It is the art of communicating eloquently and creating emotional   connections with people . My dad is a talented artist and struggles to create a market for his paintings . I   was inspired by the storytelling tool . My first question is ; How will I use storytelling to successfully   connect my dad ’s paintings with potential customers ? According to the video reference ; ‘ Storytelling   says it 's not about the list of things we have to do , it 's about the connection that we give to people   about a piece of information that we 're trying to share . 

 The first consideration I have is the paintings themselves -- if they are abstract or otherwise   interpretative , it would be prudent not to impose too much of a narrative upon them . If they are more   representational , then it also depends upon the potential customers one is trying to seek ( for example ,   domestic or international ) I say this because appealing content will differ between cultural bases . 

 Another consideration is story content in relation to the artist -- whether abstract or representational , a   narrative created by the artist becomes something altogether different and does n't necessarily   compromise the work in any manner -- instead , it can augment the appeal of the work when the   customer is provided with an understanding of the artist 's thought processes , daily travails , experiences ,   and so forth . 

 Application 

 I organized a small exhibition at home and used storytelling as a tool to build empathy and take the   customers through a very real and personal journey of the artist . The painting titled “ Paradise ” is a vivid   visual about the movement of waves against the rock ; an image of struggle , peace and happiness . I   shared the story of the artist ’s childhood memory of skipping school and sitting atop a Danish Fort . He   would smell the salty air and watch the movement of the waves feeling the initial volatility and    immense peace and tranquility . The visuals created an element of mystery and intrigue . I played   melodious music in the background . I endeavored to bring alive the feeling of initial struggle and then   peace and happiness to the customers . The customers were encouraged to slow down , linger over the   art and immerse in the stories and experience the artist ’s intriguing journey . The storytelling approach   created an absorbing and immersive environment for customers to experience . 

 Insight and Approach 

 I thought about a different approach of engaging the customers in the storytelling process . How about   getting customers to see what experiences or memories viewing the paintings triggered ? The visitors   experienced nostalgia and a gamut of emotions that really helped them relate to the art .   The customers were motivated to tell their own stories about what the vivid visuals evoked . 

 The whole exhibition became an interactive story telling of shared experiences . The customers felt that   shared empathy of connection with the paintings . Most of the paintings depicted strong visuals of the   sea . I talked to the visitors about how living near the sea inspired my dad to become an artist . He went   through very real struggles to make his dream a reality . The strong movement of the ocean are a vivid   description of that struggle . His parents refused to pay for his art education . He worked in many   different jobs and completed six years of art school . The customers talked about how the ocean waves   brought memories of their own struggle and how the waves of their lives eventually became tranquility   and happiness . This created a feeling of shared understanding and strong connection with the paintings .   The customers built a real personal connection with the paintings . 

 My dad is now inspired to make more paintings depicting stories . This course and the storytelling tool   has helped me create a new dimension to his art . A totally immersive experience adding an interactive ,   empathetic element for future exhibitions . 

 This tool really helped me visualize and practically apply the powerful tool of storytelling to create a   whole new perspective . 

 I ’m a learning and development professional and this course has motivated me to add design thinking   innovation as a career goal worth pursuing .
