I’ve organized many group art projects, a few messy and complicated and lots that are fun and simple, and I would recommend again and again! This list includes the best and easiest collaborative art projects for a big group- perfect for a nursing home, classroom, or even to auction them off and raise money for a group.
10 of the Best Collaborative Art Projects for Big Groups
1. Mattise inspired collage
This large collage peice only needs paper, scissors, and Mod Podge! We turned our group art project into a an “I Spy” game since I made it with kids. Can you find the music note, pretzel, and key?
2. Tape and Paint group art project
This collaborative art project is very easy to set up and very easy to make look amazing! All you need is a large canvas, painters tape, paint and paintbrushes
3. Tiny butterfly group art
Each individual artist creates a tiny butterfly, and then the butterflies are placed together on a large canvs to make a masterpeice!
4. String art
This group art project takes more up front set up time, but the stringing is easy enough for any age artist to participate and this project always turns out looking amazing!
5. Bleeding tissue paper group art
Bleeding tissue paper is a fun, mess free medium to make group art projects. We did a simple house image, but the possibilities are endless. Here’s a great deal on a pack of bleeding tissue paper.
6. Spray bottle art
This collaborative art peice is great for a big group because set up is easy and everyone will love it! I did it with spray bottles and syringes but water guns would be fun too!
7. Paint chip art
Paint chip art can be made with paint chips or with small pieces of construction paper or card stock or even magazines. The idea is to find an inexpensive material and use the color of the material to form a new image!
8. Doodle art
Start with a white canvas and one strong symbol. For the peice below we used “Q2” as the symbol because that was the name of the company that bought this peice, but a heart, flower, or butterfly would all be fun too.
9. Bleeding tissue paper shape art
Bleeding tissue paper is a great material for group art projects because it is inexpensive and mess free! Note: Bleeding tissue paper is different than normal tissue paper. Here’s a great deal on a pack!
10. Tiny watercolor paintings
The idea of small paintings adding up to one big painting is perfect for a group art project. Hearts, emojis, names, initials, favorite animal, there are so many options to personalize this group art to your group
