Question: How do you build a coliseum (in five minutes or less...)?

Answer: ask a 6th grader...
My son's Destination Imagination team was challenged to create a coliseum from start to finish in less than five minutes, in front of a live audience. Restrictions: life-size, no oil-based paint, no wet paint or glue, no loose glitter, no staining materials, budget of under $10.

The team raided my art supplies and came up with the following "trials" using solid paintsticks and damp rags. Each piece was executed in under three minutes. Great example of boxed-in restrictions driving out of the box thinking!

Making Ideas Work

There's no reason for separating the "creative people" from the "operations people", and every reason for creating an interchange between both worlds. As both a CMO and an Artist, testing new concepts and bringing the best ones to light is my daily practice.

"Creativity is not just for artists. It's for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way"
