Blog 23: Reflect on the experience of making a work of art with others.
I like to collaborate a lot. I think the idea of brainstorming, of bringing ideas together and each person adding something on is a very valuable experience. This is a very fun way to use everybody’s talent, because everybody is talented in some very different ways. I like that everyone is doing their own balloon for our installation, and yet still collaborating to make the piece together. It was really fun to do our balloons together, bouncing ideas off each other and giving feedback, but still ending up with an individual balloon.
The idea of collaboration was most present in our floor mural (not sure what to call it?) of the world. Everyone had a different notion of what the child’s world was like, but everyone collaborated to put this together into one giant piece of artwork. This world is like the real world in that it has many different neighbourhoods and they are all beautiful in their own way.
Collaborating with this class was great because everyone is so easy-going and creative. We all enjoyed making this project together. Everyone was respectful and attentive to everyone else, and this is probably the most important aspect to collaboration.
