Trend Spotting in Special Events – “The Art of Graffiti”
Remember the 6th habit of highly successful people by Stephen Covey? “Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone.”
Build a Graffiti wall at your next event, add a bucket of colorful markers and watch the creativity begin. Whether your event is large or small, indoors or outside, create a convenient place where the participants can add personal comments, draw pictures, leave inspiring quotations and secret messages throughout the course of the event. Date the board each day, photograph and watch the development of an organic artistic masterpiece unfold. Place each day’s photograph on the wall so everyone can see how the community of Graffiti artists grows and evolves. At the end of the event send the final picture home with the participants for a lasting “captured” moment in time. A moment they created together.
