Creative Collaborative Art Projects: Mermaid Series – Incognito

Creating Collaborative Art Projects: Mermaid Series

Every year, my kids and I take on a project for the Incognito Art Show. It is a fun and meaningful collaborative art project. We start by taping our 12 A6-sized artworks together for the Messy Playing and Exploring stages, creating as one. Then, we pull them apart for the Bling stage. During this stage, each of us adds our own unique flair with paint pens. These vibrant pieces feature my signature mermaid colour scheme.

This is one of seven Essential Colour Schemes for Creative Freedom. The 12 artworks are then sent to Sydney to be sold for $100 each. The sales raise funds for art studios supporting artists living with disabilities. It’s creativity with a cause!

Creative Collaborative Art Projects: Companionship

Companionship is a stunning example of three creative collaborative art projects that took place at Westfield Marion. Involving several hundred participants, this artwork transformed an artwork into a vibrant expression of community and connection. As people walked by, they were invited to contribute their unique touches. This illustrated how collective creativity can foster companionship – bringing people together, something all humans need. It also records a shared experience, highlighting the power of collaboration in the arts.

My Easy Pattern Play Resources downloadable .pdf is full of the types of simplified patterns you can use to create an artwork like this with your friends, family, students, group, team or clients:

Creative Collaborative Art Projects: Our Painted Elephant

Our Painted Elephant is a lovely example of creative collaborative art projects. It engaged primary school children in a fun way. It was also cost-effective, as the kids created the artwork on a fabric banner. They used techniques like sponging and scraping with cool colors during the Messy Playing stage. In the Exploration stage, they layered stencils in warm colors, adding depth and vibrancy. Finally, the Bling stage involved applying a mask with black spray paint, highlighting details of the elephant’s face. This project not only nurtured the children’s artistic skills but also emphasised the joy of working together creatively.

Creative Collaborative Art Projects: In Conclusion

In summary, creative collaborative art projects serve as powerful tools for community engagement, fostering connections and shared experiences among participants. These projects can take many forms. They can be public projects like Companionship, at home projects with family and friends, or hands-on activities with children. They not only encourage artistic expression but also promote teamwork and collaboration. By bringing individuals together to create something meaningful, they highlight the beauty and impact of collective creativity in our communities.

Facilitating a group artwork can be a joyful and inclusive experience with the right approach. These Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects will give you simple guidance for creating with people of all ages and abilities. Participants of varying abilities will feel welcomed and enjoy this creative process. This style of collaborative art encourages collaboration and self-expression. Use my three simple stages. First, engage in Messy Playing. Next, you’ll do some Exploring of shape, colour and pattern. Finally, add fun Bling. These stages allow you to create an accessible environment that invites people to smile and have fun as they paint. It doesn’t matter their experience, beginners and professional artists have fun painting together, inspiring each other. My Pattern Play Collaborative Art method enhances engagement. Start by preparing a welcoming space. Have an underpainting ready. This way, there’s no ‘shock of the new’ blank canvas. Celebrate the final artwork by saying “Give yourself a clap for your beautiful artwork!”

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects 1: Set the Stage for Success

Prepare the space with accessible materials. Make sure supplies are easy-to-reach. Have a canvas with an inviting underpainting. It has a colour over the whole canvas, a circle, a spiral, or a cluster of dots. Consider adding an arch on an edge and a trailing line across the entire shape. These invite people to play! Create a welcoming setup – a plastic table cloth to catch paint drops (rarely needed with this system). Use my Pattern Play Collaborative Art process! My best tip: Use a cup tray with four cups. Assign one brush to each cup. Select three main colors, and vary the fourth cup with some white. Done.

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects 2: Start with Making a Playful MESS!

Encourage participants to start with freeform mark-making, using big brushes and simple shapes. This removes pressure and builds confidence. I call this stage “Messy Play”. Everybody loves it. They realize it really is playing around with circles by doing big and little ones in several colours. Participants move around the artwork while doing this.

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects 3: Incorporate Inclusive Patterns to Explore…

Scatter around a few visual guides (like my Pattern Play resources) to inspire participants while allowing creative interpretation. The Pattern Play cards have 48 options. Laminate them in sets of three. Offer a few for painters to choose from. Rotate them each session. Select those that suit their skills and abilities. Choose the patterns that match the feel of the artwork. Choose patterns that suit the colours you are using…

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects 4: Balance Guidance with Freedom

Offer structure through step-by-step prompts but leave room for personal expression. Keep instructions clear and adaptable. By telling people what to do, you free them to be creative as they have a framework to get started. Try it! Say “Pick a colour pot. Do three BIG circles. Then move to another place and do three small circles in a cluster”. People watch one another and feel free to start exploring. Let them know that your instruction is just a starting point. As soon as you like, find your own way to create your unique marks. Then, repeat them to make a pattern…

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects 5: Celebrate the Process, Not Perfection – Encourage the Painters to COPY each other!

Encourage collaboration over individual results. Focus on shared effort and layering. Enjoy the joy of painting together. Encourage the painters to interact with what each other is doing. They should compliment the ideas of each other. They should COPY what others are doing because that is how we learn. Specifically guide people to pick a pattern idea or an interesting area of overlapping shapes that someone else has done. Ask them to recreate it in a different colour or a different size. Suggest creating it in a cluster, from the edge, or in a line. Be excited about the unique thing they create. This helps people feel seen and included, especially when their ideas are pointed out verbally.

Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects: In conclusion

These Tips for Cooperative Painting Projects will help you to give your group an engaging art experience. By setting up a welcoming space with a colourful and accessible underpainting, you encourage playful exploration. When you incorporate inclusive patterns and balance guidance with creative freedom, you create an environment where everyone can contribute. Most importantly, celebrating the process over perfection ensures a positive and collaborative experience for participants of all ages and abilities.

This Collective Painting Project exemplifies Pattern Play Collaborative Art. It is where layering, intuition, and shared creativity jointly bring an artwork to life. The process unfolds in three simple stages. First is Messy Playing. We build the foundation with bold marks and colour. Next is Exploring. Patterns and layers add depth and connection. Finally, there’s Bling!, where we enhance the piece with gold leaf, paint pens, stickers, and gems. Each step allows painters to contribute freely. Painters can respond to what’s already there. They enjoy the evolving artwork without fear of “getting it wrong.”

Collective Painting Project: We Talk Together: Underpainting

The underpainting for this Collective Painting Project began as my first social art project with adults in 2017. It was exhibited that same year at Skylight, much to the delight of the participants. In 2023, I decided to continue developing the artwork with the My Time group. Many of the original painters were still involved. This approach reduces costs. It aligns perfectly with Pattern Play Collaborative Art. In this collaborative art form, layering enhances both the visual depth and the creative experience.

Adding layers allows the artwork to evolve naturally. This process helps participants focus on the joy of painting together. They need not worry about “getting it right” or “getting it wrong.” Over time, those fears fade, replaced by the realisation that it’s simply paint—we can always add more! My record for layering is 14, achieved in the Community artwork created during the Westfield Marion Art Story project.

Collective Painting Project: We Talk Together: Messy Playing

The first layer of this collective painting project used three cool colours—dark blue, light blue, and green. We incorporated simple patterns from my Pattern Play Visual Resources. We selected just a couple from the dozen available in the pack. Limiting choices helps foster creativity, as too many options can feel overwhelming or intimidating.

The process was straightforward: pick a pattern you like, paint it in three places—big and small. Then, swap colours and repeat. I always emphasise BIG and small. That gives us lots of variety. Medium naturally happens as one person’s big spiral is quite different to that of the next person. This contrast makes the approach clear, easy to follow, and visually engaging. We used larger brushes for bold marks.

Collective Painting Project: We Talk Together: Exploring

The next layer naturally introduced warm colours—crimson, pink, and orange. As the collective painting project progressed, painters began adding more patterns. They also responded to what was already on the canvas. I encouraged both approaches:

• “Imagine the canvas is blank and simply add your marks and patterns.”
• “Engage with what’s there—outline a shape, decorate the spaces in between, or add dots or dashes along a line.”

These suggestions give participants the freedom to follow their creative intuition, making the process both engaging and enjoyable! We used medium brushes for this layer. This alternate layering of colour families can continue over several sessions if you like. The artwork becomes more and more visually rich, with many fascinating parts to wander over with your amazed eyes…

Collective Painting Project: We Talk Together: Exploring

Returning to cool colours, this layer featured light blue, dark blue, a translucent metallic green, and a touch of purple. We switched to small brushes. Round brushes are for modulated lines. Flat brushes make choppy marks. Filbert brushes give a mix of both (I simply like them, and call them ‘cat’s tongue’ brushes!

For this stage of the collective painting project, we used my Pattern Play Printable Cards. They were scattered around the canvas. This allowed painters to choose a design that caught their eye. It was fascinating to see how popular ‘Tallies’ (tally marks) became. They added a dynamic element to the artwork in different sizes and colours!

Collective Painting Project: In conclusion

This collective painting project has been a journey of layering colours, patterns, and creative intuition. We started with a cool underpainting, followed by a warm layer to build contrast and depth. Each stage encouraged painters to add their own marks. It also prompted them to respond to what was already there. This fostered both individuality and collaboration. Using my Pattern Play Visual Resources and Pattern Play Printable Cards, participants explored different patterns. ‘Tallies’ emerged as a favourite addition.

Next, we move into the BLING! stage—introducing gold leaf in the top left quadrant as a visual centre. We’ll spend several sessions adding the final decorative touches. We will use paint pens, stickers, and gems. These elements will bring this collective painting project to life.

Soccer Mural Created with Primary School Children

About 32 children in a specialist soccer program at a local primary school painted this mural. They gathered four times to create this small-scale mural. It matches the exact size and shape of a soccer goal. They practice kicking their soccer balls at it during training and school breaks. Now, they can marvel at the beautiful mural they created together, building on their team bond.

Colourful Mural Created with Teenagers

Around 20 girls and staff contributed to this beautiful mural. They used the ‘Galaxy’ colour scheme from my set of “7 Essential Colour Schemes.” The mural stretches 6-7 metres across their canteen wall. It can be seen every day and builds their confidence to try new, creative and challenging things.

Teenagers Creating a Collaborative Art Project

During our debriefing sessions about the mural and their community-based SACE program, the girls created this piece. It was then cut up into postcards and put into a vending machine at Flinders Medical Centre. Visitors, staff, and patients can buy a little bit of original art to share. We used an earlier form of my “Easy Pattern Play Visual Resources.” Each resource has easy-to-copy and inspiring patterns. These patterns are asymmetrical and based on hand-painted patterns that have now been used on hundreds of individual artworks. They help people to get creative with confidence and enjoy creating together!

Painting should never be intimidating. These Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners make it easy and fun. Anyone can join in! Using my Pattern Play Collaborative Art approach, each project follows three simple stages. The first stage is Messy Playing to build up layers. Then, there is Exploring with patterns and shapes. Finally, Bling is used for final embellishments. Young carers paint together for Girl Power. Parent carers layer colours during My Time. Exhibition visitors spontaneously add their mark. These projects show how creativity can be inclusive, social, and accessible to all.

Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners: Girl Power!

The Girl Power project is a collaborative artwork in progress, created by a group of young carers. It offers them a chance to take a break from their carer roles. They spend time together to chat, play, snack, and visit each other’s homes. Meanwhile, we mums enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea and a good natter! The girls use cool and calming colours in their paintings, blending blues, greens, purples, aqua, and white. My Pattern Play resources are scattered nearby for inspiration. They add layers of patterns to the artworks creatively. They also respond intuitively to what’s already on the canvas. This simple and flexible painting approach is perfect for beginners of any age. The girls in this project range from about 10 to 18 years old, and their artwork continues to evolve. When we decide it’s finished, I plan to show their work to celebrate their creativity!

Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners: We Talk Together

The second Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners project is another work in progress. It is created collaboratively by a group of parent carers. They contribute as part of their My Time peer support program. This group brings together parents of children with disabilities or chronic conditions. They meet six times each school term to chat and share stories. They exchange information. They tap into what we call our ‘brains trust.’ Parents are at all stages of the journey. There’s always someone with the right advice. They have ideas to point you in a helpful direction. This large artwork evolves with each session, as we add either a warm or cool layer of colours. In our next session, we’ll be working with three cool colours. There will be one extra with a touch of white. These are perfectly portioned into the four cups of the trays. I always use them to keep the paints neatly under control, with one brush in each pot.

Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners: Myriad in Harmony

The third Accessible Painting Idea for Beginners is the ultimate in accessibility. It was created by 80 painters. They spontaneously joined in during the annual “Myriad” Art Exhibition at the State Library of South Australia. Visitors were invited to contribute to a 1m x 1m canvas, using my Pattern Play cards as inspiration. The painting began with a bright blue underpainting. Over three sessions, we layered four variations of three warm colours. The warm colours were red, yellow, and orange, mixed in different ways to add in lovely peaches and corals.. This collaborative approach made painting truly accessible to everyone, regardless of experience! People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds created seamlessly together to create this beautiful artwork!

Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners: In Conclusion

These Accessible Painting Ideas for Beginners show how anyone can enjoy painting, no matter their experience. Young carers create calming artworks in the Girl Power project.

The “Endy” project at Marion Primary School Holiday Care is a fantastic example of creating collaborative artworks. Over two sessions, students from Reception to Year 6 worked together to design a vibrant, Minecraft-inspired artwork. They began with the Messy Playing stage. During this stage, they painted and cut textured papers for collaging. They also underpainted the canvas with bold yellow and black. The students then added creative touches during the Exploring and Bling stage, layering decorative patterns, glitter, and sparkle. This social art project not only resulted in a playful and dynamic piece. It also fostered teamwork, creativity, and connection in a pressure-free environment. Plus, his eyes glow in the dark!
