2nd grade - where the Wild Things are

In 2nd grade art class we read the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Sendak was not only the author but the illustrator as well. Sendaks story is about a little boy causing mischief who was sent to his room and imagined that he sailed away to the land of the Wild Things. These monsters in the story are funny and playful. We looked at the design of these monsters and created our own monsters that resembled the ones in the story. They were drawn on brown paper and colored in with oil pastels then cut out.  They are just as playful and even more fun than the ones in the book!
