Collaborative Art — Working in Pairs
📋 What it is
Working in pairs on art means sharing ideas, compromising, and building on each other rather than competing.
🗣️ Coach says
Making something WITH a partner means both ideas matter. You share, you build on each other ("what if we add…"), and you COMPROMISE when you disagree — the goal is the best result together, not "my way winning". Pair work is where teamwork skills really start.
🧠 Memory hook
Pair work = share ideas · build on each other · compromise. Best result together, not "my way wins".
