This full day workshop is a great value at just $99 per person! We get everyone involved with art making, using unique and abstract techniques, along with a surprise 'echo' drawing experience in the afternoon. The full day (which includes your half hour lunch and two short breaks) will build the bonds that lead to increased and more effective communication and innovation. Participants alternate fresh and fun art making with lively team discussions. A mobile "Museum" setting is created through the use of art prints and a Visual Thinking Strategies session. Unwind, inspire, create. Strengthen connections while working towards a common colorful goal. This day brings out the best in people as they authentically encourage each other, step outside their comfort zone, look at visual ideas in new ways, and consider their own 'work' from different perspectives.
We especially love working with the 'reluctant artist!' Our method of teaching uses a combination of video and simple step by step directions, all brought to you by experienced educators who know how to make learning fun!
Accordion Fold Book: Each participant takes home their 'work' from the day ~ a handmade artist book. The pages are filled with their own art, along with art from the team at their table.
A participant searches for a composition to add to her book. Looking with such close focus and intensity leads to reflective thinking, intentional choices, and pride at the final result.
Recognize what it means to take a risk -with support and in a 'safe' atmosphere – without fear or judgment.
A beautifully matted and framed work of art is given to the company as a visual reminder of our day of collaboration; and encouragement to keep strengthening those connections.
The pacing of the workshop and the variety of artsy activities assures that each participant finds an area of success and interest. In this photo a group is engaging in the 'Visual Thinking Strategies' component, making connections as they listen to other viewpoints; building deeper engagement, thoughtful reflection, respectful listening, and confidence that they have something to contribute to the conversation.
