An adult group art project offers an engaging and inclusive way for people to connect and create together. Using the principles of “Pattern Play Collaborative Art,” these projects typically involve three simple stages: Messy Playing, Exploring, and Bling. These stages encourage participants to express themselves freely. They experiment with patterns. Participants add final touches that bring the artwork to life. Whether it’s painting circles, layering colours, or adding intricate designs, each step fosters collaboration and creativity. All the painters have fun exploring their creativity in a fun environment.
Adult Group Art Project 1: My Time: Circles of Connection
Engaging in an adult group art project is a powerful way to foster connection and creativity within communities. One memorable example is the “My Time: Circles of Connection” artwork, created alongside adult parent carers. This vibrant piece was the result of a collaborative effort that celebrated the carers’ experiences and unique contributions. The artwork featured interlocking circles in warm, inviting colours, symbolizing the connections and shared journeys of the participants. Through shared painting sessions, the carers discovered new ways to express themselves while forming meaningful bonds. My Time supports parent carers of children with disability.
Adult Group Art Project 2: Myriad in Harmony
Another inspiring project was “Myriad in Harmony,” a large-scale collaborative artwork created during a public art exhibition. Over three days, 80 individuals came together to contribute their creativity to a vibrant 1m x 1m canvas. Participants used warm hues of red, pink, yellow, and orange over a bright blue background. They painted circles, spirals, and patterns that intertwined seamlessly. The result was a striking visual representation of unity and diversity. It showcased the beauty of collaboration. It also brought out the joy of artistic expression.
Adult Group Art Project 3: We Talk Together (WIP)
The “We Talk Together” project is still underway. It is evolving as a dynamic work in progress with my Parent Carers’ My Time group. This artwork is an ongoing exploration of connection and chatting through creative expression. Each session brings new layers of colour, patterns, and meaning as participants contribute their unique voices to the piece. The project evolves to show the constantly changing and diverse experiences of carers. This evolution makes it a poignant and meaningful endeavour. Once completed, it will stand as a symbolic memory to the power of art in bringing people together. My Time is is for all parents and carers of children under the age of 18 who need a higher level of care than other children. This might be because of disability, a chronic medical condition, or other additional needs including developmental delay.
