What we learn through working collaboratively...

Working collaboratively added the following understandings about what one learns through art:

• Making art requires the artist to co-operate with the materials and the content. When working with other people it adds the dimension of working with another person's ideas about content and materials.
• Making art requires developing ideas to a place that is personally fulfilling and fulfilling to the viewer. When working in a group we have to please and incorporate each other's ideas to where the group is comfortable.
• Through art we learn a lot about ourselves. When working in a group we learn lot about other people.
• When making art we need to learn new skills to execute our ideas. When working collaboratively we learn skills from others which contribute to the project at hand.
• Making art requires time management. When working with others we have to manage several people's time and learn to do tasks on our own as well as in a group.
