Facilitator’s notes:

Shared Lines, Shared Thinking is a hands-on, reflective workshop that explores collaboration, shared authorship, and process-focused art-making in early childhood settings. Through a simple yet intentional shared painting experience, participants are invited to reflect on what happens when materials, time, and space are designed to support listening, trust, and co-construction. Drawing on atelier and classroom contexts, the session highlights the educator's role as an observer, facilitator, and co-learner, emphasising process over product and the value of relationships formed through collaborative making.
This workshop is designed for early childhood educators seeking to deepen their understanding of collaborative art experiences. Participants will leave with practical strategies for fostering teamwork, building classroom relationships, and supporting reflective, process-focused practices that can be immediately applied to enhance everyday teaching.
