Balloon Instillation Project

My experience of working collaboratively has added greatly to my understanding of what I learn through art. Most of my previous art experiences have been individual and this project was the first time I would in a group to contribute to a greater art project. This experience has shown me that there are ways in which you can learn from your peers in art and many good ideas come from others who inspired me to create something of my own. The balloon instillation project inspired me to try and take a collaborative approach of teaching art in my classroom. In this way, the students will be able to work together, yet still contribute and embrace their own creativity, imagination, and different learning styles. I think by doing this in my classroom, it will help instill a sense of community, improve self-esteem, and help students interact with others they may not have otherwise.
