BEYOND THE LIMITS
When faced with finding tough solutions, we are often told to “think outside the box.” What if all you have to work with is what’s inside the box? Sharp thinking and breakthrough ideas are honed in this studio workshop. Teams collaborate on a themed sculpture using limited time, materials, and resources in a way that empowers innovation.
TAKE A SECOND LOOK CHALLENGE
Perspective is an important part of how we experience the world around us and each other. This team building activity builds skills for observing, analyzing, questioning, and assessing as a group. Teams participate in a creative outdoor challenge that involves swift critical thinking, dialogue, and decision-making.
FOUND OBJECT WORKSHOP
What moves and motivates your team? Gain insights as we transform everyday objects into dynamic one-of-a-kind team sculptures. Each participant brings one item from work or home that represents something of significance to their life or project viewpoint. The objects are then combined with themes that reflect common threads among the team.
PUZZLING PAINTING
How does one piece of the big picture contribute to the greater whole? In this relaxed group painting workshop, each participant receives one portion of a larger image to paint onto a canvas using their choice of style and color. The finished canvases are then assembled together to reveal the collective artwork made by the group. This activity demonstrates how connections are made and individual perceptions can be seen in new ways.
SCULPTURE HUNT
In this fast-paced outdoor challenge, teams race against the clock using visual hints to find specific sculptures and earn points. A fun way to relax, engage in friendly competition, and see the grounds. Prizes are awarded to the winning team.
Private GUIDED TOUR & WORKSHOP BUNDLE
With 42 acres and approximately 350 works of art, a guided tour provides a deeper look into the sculptural secrets and rich history of Grounds For Sculpture.
