Activity 2:

How do Others See You?

Warm-up Prompt for Creative Thinking

By reflecting on music, paintings, sculpture and poetry, we can open our minds to new ideas, to creative ways of thinking about the project, challenge, or question ahead.

 

Different Looks

Many parts make a whole. People are made up of all their parts—personality traits, roles, strengths and weaknesses, experiences, emotions, etc. Add in the views others have of a person, and you’ll see a kaleidoscope of qualities that make up who they are, and who they can become.

Take a close look at the Picasso painting, Head of a Woman with Hat. Notice the various colors and distinct facial features of the painting, and reflect on what you see.

  • What unique parts of yourself do you see reflected in the shapes, colors, and angles of this portrait?

  • If each distinct section of this painting represented a voice or perspective within you, what might each one be trying to say?

  • Close this window when you’re ready to return to coaching.
