My education and art education majors worked together with kindergartners on this activity as a way to learn about the young students’ artistic development and celebrate creative ideas.

This collaboration was an exciting and rewarding learning experience enjoyed by all involved.

Through collaboration, students transform their artroom into a cupcake factory installation, use lighting techniques to create interpretive shadow scenes, invent and draw their own monsters with preservice teachers, and more.
