Collaborate on an Artwork with Laura Lynne Art

Work with Artist, Laura Lynne, to Create a Memorable Artwork and Experience for Your School, Business or City

I’ve collaborated with a lot of people and organizations throughout my art making career, from individuals to schools to nonprofit organizations like the DuPage Children’s Museum. It’s really fun to see a child’s face when I show them a piece of art that I created using their artwork. I love to do art collaborations!

Examples of Art Collaborations with Kids

Floral Collages

Here is an example of collage art I created using flowers made with a preschool class. The collaborative project included a flower making workshop and story. I used the beautiful flower collages they created during the workshop, then added my own collage materials and hand-painted details like the vase and butterfly. Read more about this preschool flower collage for a school auction here.

Bowl of Fruit Still Life Collaborative Artwork

In this 1.5-3 hour drawing workshop, elementary students studied fruit from life using soft pastels. The fruit drawings they completed were photographed, sized, then printed on archival paper. After I printed the fruit, I painted the white and blue bowls and assembled the collage. Each collage is coated with layers of medium and varnish so they can be wiped with a soft cloth.

DuPage Children’s Museum Collaboration – Midwest Prairie Art

During the pandemic, I collaborated with the Arts and Maker Specialist at the DuPage Children’s Museum, Dustin Thacker to create four hours of art instruction videos. The video art instruction lead to a collaborative art project based on native prairie plants and animals. We worked virtually with the kids, commenting on the art they submitted in a shared online art gallery and led live workshops via Zoom. After all of the art was submitted, I collaged the kids’ beautiful art into a large, colorful collaborative artwork that is hanging in the museum. If you are interested in supporting the DuPage Children’s Museum by buying the art instruction videos, visit the DuPage Children’s Museum website here.

Here is a pricing menu if you would like my help either by teaching the art workshops live or online, assembling the art, or both.

Since working on the Midwest prairie art workshop series, I have also developed art workshops exploring:

Coniferous forest animals and plants
Monarch butterflies
Midwest birds
Midwest flora and fauna in winter

Children learn about natural sciences along with art in my workshops as these are two of my life passions.
