DRAWING TOGETHER AS INCLUSIVE PRACTICE IN EARLY YEARS LEARNING
LINDA KNIGHT, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, University of Canberra
Wednesday, May 26th 2010

Pavillon Lamoureux, local 477 / Lamoureux Hall, Room 477
This presentation presents collaborative drawing as a socially inclusive pedagogy for early childhood contexts. Intergenerational collaborative drawing is a teaching and learning pedagogy that engages adults and children in chaotic, intercepting drawing activity, to open up lines of communication between them. Deleuzean concepts of dreaming/ becoming, and Foucauldian (1986) concepts of heterotopic space help to examine conceptual and bodily practices while drawing. Deleuzean/Foucauldian readings also assist in beginning to theorise on how we might develop more socially inclusive experiences in early childhood contexts, as they enable acknowledgement that children reference different things while drawing. Collaborative drawing exposes adults to the diverse referents that young children might access while drawing, and this exposure helps to challenge conventional adult/child power relationships, and dominant beliefs and discourses around early years/early childhood teaching and learning.
