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.
