motivational business art how it works
DESCRIPTION
Motivational business art is here to transport valuable corporate incentives from the right brain hemisphere. To the left side where the emotions and sensitivity lives. How is it done? First we need to remember that we all have been small children mainly driven by the left brain side dependant of the love of our mothers. Did we get a lot of it at this period of development so we are more left brainers and was it only a bit than we became right brainers how to wake it up again? How to get it back ? It is very simple forget about everything what you have ever learned and be a little child, just for a short little time. Wake up this feeling in you and understand it, conserve it, and change your behaviour from that minute on. MOTIVATIONAL BUSINESS ART WORKSHOPS are the best way to experience this.TRANSCRIPT

MOTIVATIONAL BUSINESS ARTS
BLANK CANVAS “OPEN UP” WORKSHOP
!
OPEN UP is a workshop, which taps into what Joseph Beuys
calls „the artist in every one of us“. Combining the sensation
of discovering your art/creativity skills with a specific business
or team building task is an extremely powerful tool. Great for
reboosting teams, strengthening corporate cultures and many
other business driven goals. !
How it works
Typically, we would work with a team of people from one
company. Before the program we set ourselves a goal: i.e.
motivate everyone to get on board with new business
objectives, shift in corporate culture etc. Based on the final goal
we then create a specific structure for the program.
So each program is different. Then we split into groups roll up
our leaves and get in front of the blank canvas.
Everyone is involved, everyone has a great time and everyone
creates. We guide everyone in small steps to the source of
creativity. It is a very easy program and very often the people
you would not expect to, do so contribute the most. !!

Why is it good?
“OPEN UP” is a program that always operates around
a very business driven backbone. However, through creative
expression molded out of opinions, desires, emotions and
personal preferences it creates a real bond, commitment and
belief. I.e. the result of each session are real paintings made
by teams. They are usually surprisingly good and their
creators are proud of them. As a result they identify with what
their creations stand for. I.e. above mentioned new values,
business objectives etc. !!
So what are you left with?
It is not only about the paintings that are a great decoration for
the reception, lobby or meeting room. It is about what people
put in them. it is the connection they have with whatever went
into them. e.g. if all the paintings represent new corporate
values you have a very high chance that the team is going to
take these values as their own and cherish them from now on. !!!
The structure Strukturelles
The preparation
Every company if it has a culture has its values or rules
which are a thankful platform for MBA /motivational
business art, trainings. These values or any other
motivational sentences when they have the chance to
swim through the the left hemisphere get touchable and
loose their abstract value and are transformed into
emotions.
!
The seminar
The company is split into groups of 2-4 people. These little
groups get motivational intro presentation about fine arts
starting in Alta Mira cave paintings and ending with purely
emotional abstract paintings of our century. Than they start
creating their theme while I control the process. The work is
done on canvas to give it a higher affinity to arts.
While creating the groups, we learn the importance of
teamspirit within a company. !!
The come together
After the whole team process of filling the canvas with
visual content is ready, the teams choose a presenter,
who explains the topic they had to transform into a picture
to all workshop attendants.
When the presentations are finished the pictures are
displayed and the individuals evaluate the work of
competitive teams. So a winner team can be chosen
and a come together party can start. !
