Educators are familiar with working together to produce curriculum packages, to team teach a unit, to host a parent event, to put on a school-wide concert, or to plan a conference. Collaboration in art education as presented in this publication is a team effort that is slightly different and beyond ordinary collaboration. Collaborative art-making involves the inclusion of many contributions to the creation of the final image. This theme issue contains seven articles: (1) "Editor's View" (Sharon McCoubrey); (2) "The Collaborative Process of Art Making" (Taylor Gutermute a.k.a. Patty Taylor); (3) "Making Connections: The Integration of Art and Language Arts" (Virginia MacCarthy; Heather A. Pastro); (4) "The Spirit of Nature: The Grandview/?uuqinak'uuh Public Art Project" (Illene Pevec); (5) "Making Mosaic and Ceramic Murals: A Collaborative Challenge" (Lynda Faulks); (6) "A Teaching Jewel: Collaboration in Art" (Evelyn Vipond-Schmidt); and (7) "Resources Reviews" ("Beyond the School: Community and Institutional Partnerships in Art Education" and "Step Outside: Community-Based Art Education").
