A collaborative art project I could do as a teacher could be a large mural somewhere in the city where I would teach. It would be cool to have all the art teachers in the city get together and create a portion of this mural. This would create unity and solidarity among teachers and help create a sense of community as everyone has to work together outside of their own school setting. The mural could raise awareness for a specific social issue or community problem, such as the importance of the arts.
Another collaborative project that would be fun to do would be a giant quilt. This also could be made with other community art teachers as well and then could be raffled off at a school function, with the raffle money going to support local charities. I think it is so important that art be used to build up and strengthen a community. Doing a raffle would be a great way we could give back into the community and help our students by enhancing the place in which they live.
