Also have students draw the horizon line.ģ. I distributed the color copies from the book to the tables not for them to copy, but just to be inspired and remember all of the possibilities. We used 12″x18″ white paper, and I had the students draw the monster as big as they could on the paper. I had the students notice and point out the different features of the monsters and the textures.Ģ. I read the book to the class, and then I made color copies of some of the illustrations. I did this Wild Things lesson with third grade, and the results were too cute!ġ.
She has created some amazing art projects for kids, and her site was an amazing resource for me as an elementary art teacher! If you don’t visit her site regularly, you should. I was just teaching and not blogging when I did this project, so it didn’t matter whether it was a new idea or not, but the original inspiration for this project was from Patty at Deep Space Sparkle. He died in 2012 and in his will, he chose to donate all his work to a foundation dedicated to creating a museum to house his collection in Ridgefield. I chose Connecticut, because Maurice Sendak lived in Ridgefield, Connecticut for more than 40 years. Bloggers from across the web are each featuring children’s authors from all 50 states. This post is a part of the Booking Across the USA series organized by Jodie at Growing Book by Book. Please watch this video from PBS Digital Studios. I think Maurice Sendak really understands what it is like to be a child. The story is magic, but the art is what really shines for me. His most renowned work is Where the Wild Things Are, a magical book about a boy who disobeys his mom and leaves on an adventure in his imagination to a world of scary, wild things where becomes king. He wrote and/or illustrated about 100 books in his life.
Maurice Sendak is a beloved children’s book illustrator and author. One of my favorite projects I did with my elementary students was an art project inspired by the amazing children’s book by Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are.
