The Community Painting is a simple and innovative concept designed as a tool to teach the philosophy of team and individual accountability: Imagine, you and your class mates painting together on one canvas, creatively bouncing ideas and solutions from one team member to another. Not only will you create an original piece of art, you ignite fluid communication, team involvement, and a fearless attitude toward contribution. Your creation is then hung in your class room or actioned off to help with raising funds for your next class project.

Church Center + Muhammad School experience: The CP project went into a couple schools and programs last year to test in potential with kids from different religious upbringings. Although this was not intentional, the students were more than open to the idea of working together on these projects. The story of the Giving Tree was the topic of discussion for the group while in another Christian based center the kids made holiday frames for their parents and took pictures with Santa. Out of the many questions I was asked the students never asked about, or tried to compare their religion with any other. They seemed to be content with having the chance to express their ides of peace, and family. I learned as much as they did on this day. Click on photo below to enlarge

History
Community Painting began in 2007 as a way to involved individuals into the creative process. The best art is done in collaborations which allow people to be hands on and see both their individual value to the team as well as the power of the collective.
