If I had to do it again, I would probably have students draw textures on top of the paint (like I did in this project). We used tempera cake paint with great results. Paint the monster and the background with paint. Trace the pencil lines with black oil pastels, and add details and textures with other colors.Ĥ. 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 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.
