The Master Piece Exercise

This is a writing exercise that encourages participants to think of themselves as a work of art. The question asked is what would the gallery caption say if the universe (or God) was the artist and you were the masterpiece hanging in the museum of humanity. This workshop entails the group to look around an art gallery or art museum to get a grasp of how art pieces are described and then have the group take a moment to write. Then there is an opportunity for everyone to share what they wrote. Many participants describe the perspective of their physical self, their spiritual gradual maturity or just their life story. The point of "The Master Piece Exercise" is to have people finish the activity with a sense of self assurance and love. The idea that they themselves is a work of art with value and purpose is very uplifting and has everyone go home feeling reflective, worthy and aware of their place in this world. I
