Signature Power Painting Team Build

Action Innovation and Creativity Gym, one of South Africa's top corporate teambuilding and innovative, intuitive creativity studios brings over 20 years corporate experience facilitating groups and assisting teams to understand innovation and achieve practical results.  Our Power Painting Team Build is designed to inspire and challenge a team building group creatively and ascertain whether they can effectively listen, intuit, interpret and experiment in order to create an intuitively composed symbolic small box canvas painting from abstract concepts, intentions, values or objectives.

The Power Painting Team Build is ideal for groups who want to challenge their inner strengths, creativity and right brain skills, and it can take place indoors or in covered outdoor areas, depending on weather.  Groups are guided step-by-step through creating personalized symbols, colour palettes and expressions and then interpreting these through composition into an expressive painting on a small box canvas.  Power Painting is usually linked to positive intentions, objectives or values that your business would like to spend some quality time engaging teams with.  The outcome would be one Power Painting per participant, our largest group size so far yielding over 60 paintings to take back and hang in the office as desired!

Team building skills developed during all team development sessions:    Active listening and communication    Personal power and intuition    Right brain skills of imagination, lateral thinking, creativity and innovation    Left brain skills of simplification, composition, symbolic representation    Switching off the inner critic long enough to work through creative barriers    Ability to let go, relax and have some fun    Prototype completion within timelines using multi-layered creative techniques

A basic process painting overview and step-by-step encouragement and guidelines are given as part of each activity. Spontaneity as well as planning are essential at different stages, and teams will need to discuss, experiment, explore and decide at each stage of the Power Painting process.  Delegates must work effectively both within themselves and if required by certain groups, within each team they may be a part of to accomplish the challenges at hand.

Groups are supported creatively and are free to interpret the exercise as they see fit. At the end of the session the teams have the option of having each canvas hung in the offices of the company, in particular clusters, or separately.



Sessions can be held outdoors or indoors at most venues, and the non-toxic water based paints used will mean participants need to wear suitable clothing they don't mind messing on or staining.



A great option for a teambuilding, conference or leisure group looking for a fun, low impact activity that can be done indoors.
