Speaking of Group Graphics,
Of course Graphic Recordings themselves can be useful tools -- at the
end of a day recently the facilitator asked participants to put post-it
notes on the mural/chart to indicate what they would like to talk about
more the next day. See http://www.othconsulting.com/usingthemural.jpg
and http://www.othconsulting.com/mural1sticky.jpg
And when the basket was passed to collect post-it notes of participants'
ideas about what their ideal program would be like, I was able to
quickly sort them into four categories and draw them on the mural.

None of this is really Open Space but it is about getting people's
voices heard and "seeing" what people mean during traditional
facilitated events.
Cheers, Diane Cline (Graphic Recorder based in DC)
