An American art collaborative is a group of artists who team up together to create art. By working together the artists are able to combine their different talents and ideas to make something new and special. Each artist in the collaborative takes part in the creation of the artwork, usually focusing on the part of the project that they're best at. For example, one artist might draw the pictures while another artist might come up with the colors or write a story to go along with the artwork. Together they create something beautiful that each artist could have never done alone.
