Big Picture
The Big Picture is a creative team building activity where every person paints one piece of a larger mural. At the end, all the pieces come together to reveal one impressive final artwork your team helped create.
The Big Picture Team Building Activity in Ireland
The Big Picture is a collaborative painting team building activity where everyone contributes to one large piece of artwork. Each person paints a small section of the mural, working with the people around them to make sure colours, lines and details connect across each canvas. At the end, all the individual pieces are brought together for the final reveal.
Choose from our range of ready-made designs, including striking images such as our popular lion, or have us create a custom mural around your company, event theme or message for an additional cost. The activity takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours and works particularly well for conferences, company away days and indoor team building events.
At the end, the complete mural is yours to keep. Many companies hang the finished artwork in their office, giving the team something they created together and a lasting reminder of the event.

How The Big Picture Team Building Activity Works
Everyone receives their own piece of the Big Picture, but nobody gets to see the finished artwork. From there, the challenge is to paint your individual canvas while working out how it connects with the pieces around you. Our event managers provide everything you need and bring all the canvases together for the final reveal.
Choose Your Big Picture
Choose from our range of ready-made designs, including striking images such as our popular lion and tree. For an additional cost, we can also create a custom Big Picture based on your company, event theme or message.
Everyone Gets Their Own Piece
Each person receives a numbered canvas and a matching thumbnail showing exactly what they need to paint. They can focus on their own piece, but there's a catch: they don't know what the complete artwork looks like.
Find Your Neighbours
This is where the collaboration starts. Everyone has to find the people holding the numbers beside theirs and work together to make sure colours, lines and details connect from one canvas to the next. Every individual piece matters because it eventually has to fit into something much bigger.
Paint Your Piece
With paints, brushes and everything else provided, everyone gets to work on their own section. No artistic experience is needed. Our event managers are there throughout to keep things moving and help where needed.
The Big Reveal
Once the painting is finished, our event managers collect the individual canvases and assemble them into one large mural. For the first time, everyone gets to see what they have created together and how their individual contribution fits into the Big Picture.
Why Choose Big Picture for Your Team?
Big Picture is a good option when you want everyone involved without putting people under pressure. It works particularly well for mixed teams because people can take part regardless of age, fitness level or artistic ability.
Suitable for Mixed Groups You don't need to be sporty, outgoing or competitive to enjoy it. That makes Big Picture a strong choice when you're organising an event for people with different personalities, roles and abilities.
Easy to Fit Into a Company Event Big Picture is an indoor activity lasting 1.5 to 2.5 hours, so it can work as part of an away day, conference, company kick-off or standalone team event.
Creative Without Being an Art Class The focus is on taking part and creating something together, not on who can paint best. People who wouldn't normally choose a creative activity can still get stuck in.
Make It Personal to Your Company Choose one of our existing designs or, for an additional cost, have a custom image created around your company, event or message.
You Have Something to Show for It Most team building activities finish when the session ends. With Big Picture, you leave with the completed mural, which can be taken back and displayed in your workplace.

Ways to Use The Big Picture
Big Picture works for more than a standard team building day. It can be built into an away day, conference or company event, with the artwork chosen to suit what you want the session to achieve.
Company Away Days
A Creative Break from the Day
Big Picture gives everyone something hands-on to do together without making the session overly competitive. It works well as part of an away day when you want an activity that gets people mixing, talking and doing something completely different from their normal working day.
