My student teacher is required to teach a "collaborative art lesson". Does anyone have one that works well. I don't care what grade level - we can adapt it. She has only 1 hour to complete it. Quite honestly, I don't have one. I've tried several over the years and have not found one that I feel worked well enough to want to repeat it. I work in a Title 1 public school and my classes are a mix of special ed, non-English speakers, bright kids, not so bright kids, and everything else you can think of. I'm sure most of you are in the same situation. (We get everybody in art, right?) Thanks everyone.

Mon, March 20, 2006 - 10:53 PMcollaborative with whom?
you and the student teacher?
does your ST jump in and help the students on one of your lessons--wouldnt that count if this is what you mean
I mean I certainly was--and do and yes Im in the middle of student teaching
my cooperating teacher and I talked a lot, and she listened to ideas and helped form them and I did to
the class and another class?
I did an andikra cloth, one class (K) did the kente cloth portion--ok they drew stripes, but we were working on developing those pattern skills
and their reading buddies in the third grade did the stamping
see the photos Ive put a pic of the andikra there
art and another subject?
got me here -

Sat, March 25, 2006 - 6:38 PMSorry for not being more claer. Its the kids who are to collaborate with one another. They are to work in groups to create a group project of some kind. Sorry for the confusion. Kente cloth might be a good thing to do.Thanks. -

Sat, March 25, 2006 - 7:33 PMWe also did a large grid reproduction
we took a poster grided it into 20 pieces
each kid got one piece grided even more
so then each kid did a portion of the enlargement
it turned out extremely cool -

Tue, March 28, 2006 - 8:07 PMThe kente cloth is great. How do you cut stamps from styrofoam? Isn't it hard to work with? -

Re: Collaborative Art Lesson
Tue, March 28, 2006 - 8:15 PMuse a sharp pencil
I had the kids redraw the designs so they were their drawings of authentic symbols
then they traced over thier drawing, just the outline part, had to show them a lot of lines NOT to trace
do that with the styrofoam under the paper
then they can see the indent the tracing made then they just traced and retraced
use a sharp pencil and long clean strokes and the tracing will cut thru better than if you ask them to do it with scissors (tried that then went to pencil) then just glued to card board
also tried not doing that
and that was a huge mess
HUGE

Re: Collaborative Art Lesson
Fri, May 4, 2007 - 12:45 PMIn Response to your question, I stumbled across a great collaborative lesson a couple years ago when I had student work a medallion on a large sheet of tag board, (One year it was news paper), where they designed a Medallion. Each student takes a ring of the circle to design and complete independently. This is a great group project because if they can work at one table or push desks together, then they are gonna be in close quarters with other and need social skills to work well together. this is where the teacher comes in... You work citizenship with them while they work the design. Make the medallion back up whatever you or other instructors are teaching. I.E. primary colors, secondary, indian art... road signs whatever.. themes help them get going.
This is a popular activity in our school, The kids enjoy it. Best of luck. Halli
