Professional Artists Are Turning Children’s Drawings Of Monsters Into The Real Deal
So how do we keep kids interested in pursuing their creativity? The Monster Project has an answer. Pairing children with renowned artists from across the world, The Monster Project opens the door to creative expression and communication. And the premise is simple. First, kids draw monsters.
Then artists create their own versions inspired by the kids’ drawings. So check your closet. And if it’s safe in there, check out The Monster Project.
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

Need proof that children are the future? Check out The Monster Project, an undertaking in which elementary school children across America draw monsters, and then worldwide artists render them in impressive ways. Here’s a work from Angelina in Indianapolis, IN.

Daniel Jewett, also from Indianapolis, IN, has turned Angelina’s creation into an impressively terrifying monster.
The Monster Project’s goal, in their own words, is “to help children recognize the power of their own imaginations and to encourage them to pursue their creative potential.”
Multicolored Monster

Nola, from Indianapolis, IN, shows us a monster here. When kids see how their creations inspired the artists’ new creations, it reveals “new art techniques within their original creative context,” fostering a positive relationship based in creative communication.
Fangs A Lot

Ju Sting, from Curitiba, Brazil, impressively transforms Nola’s creation. With arts education decreasing throughout school districts, The Monster Project hopes to continue fostering the “initial creative exposure” to help kids “feel excited about the potential of their own minds.”
