Collaborative Art Project

We started a project last semester that I thought was a great idea for a collaborative project. The students would be given a topic to base their project around. Once that was decided the students would create an image on cardboard that explored that topic and how it represented themselves. The cardboard images were painted and cut-out. Next all of them were arranged and attached as a single installation piece. the pieces would overlap and fit together. I think it helps the students see themselves as pieces to a puzzle and how each piece can bring it's own unique impact to the work. The idea that they are all made of the same material reinforces the similarity that we all have as well as helping to unify the work.
