My collaborative work has taken place with many distinguished colleagues. Clark Fralick and I have been collaborating since 1997. We began team teaching a group of 4th and 5th graders at New Palestine Community Schools with morning art activities. Since those early days, we have been collaborators on our cognitive development research presentations, professional development events, artist in residence projects, children and adult summer art camps, articles and our podcast, "Blocks Paper Scissors."
Katherine Douglas, Diane Jaquith and I have been collaborating on various projects related to advocacy for Teaching for Artistic Behavior approach to art education including dozens of NAEA national conference presentations, TAB Institute faculty participation and other national education conferences including the National Conference of Constructivist Teachers. Katherine, Diane, Clark and many others including Julie Toole, Melissa Purtee, Jen Rankey-Zona, Jean Barnett, Stacey Parrish, Candi Poll-Price and Lisa Van Plew have been involved in professional development projects that have influenced hundreds of art teachers nationally and internationally.
Below are pics from recent collaborations.
