Introducing Merribrooks Creative Team Art Workshop.

Discover the depth of your teams creativity and talent with an art workshop at your next teambuilding day.

From a blank canvas to a creative piece of art, teams experience the fun of working together to create a masterpiece. There is a role for all to contribute and overcome the daunting prospect of putting paint onto canvas. The results are surprisingly excellent and have often been framed for the office wall.

Our Art facilitators have extensive experience working with corporate groups to challenge their creativity, have fun and uncover a wealth of talent in the teams.

Working in teams, participants are given basic instructions in the use of the materials and ways to create different effects on the canvas . Preliminary sketches and ideas representing a theming topic, team values or future vision are put onto canvas by the team, to create the painting. A large team may create one very long art piece with smaller teams completing their section of the canvas and integrating with the team on each side.

A great journey for any team. Book your creative experience today!
