Kindergarten and 8th Grade Buddies: Collaboration Art

I can not take all the credit for this lesson. That credit goes to BusyMockingBird. She and her 4 year old daughter collaborate during their art project to create some that is truly unique and imaginative.
The mom starts the drawing by drawing a face, then her daughter takes over by drawing the body and background. Finally, BusyMockingBird adds extra color to complete the collaboration.

Here at SFA our 8th graders have been teamed up with a Kindergarten Buddy. Together they have made some awesome pieces of art.
Mrs. Heath, our middle school art teacher here at SFA, had her 8th graders practice drawing faces using proportions. Their faces were then turn over to my little ones for the finishing touches.
Kindergartners were not allowed to change their partners marks, but they could add around them. They have great imaginations! 8th grade decided that the pictures turned out way better when gave up some control and let things just be creative.
Later, 8th grade will be writing short stories about the images and reading them to back to their Kindergarten buddies. I know these stories will be amazing!
