After reading the book "Where the Wild Things Are" students were instructed to draw a monster either from the story or from their imagination. The monster had to take up the whole page and was drawn in crayon so when the student painted with water colors the wax repelled the water for an interesting effect. The teacher demonstrated lots of ideas of how to draw the ears, eyes, mouths, body types and even teeth. Next the students needed to decide where their monsters was located at. My monster is a cookie sneaker and is traveling down the cookie hallway to the kitchen in order to sneak his favorite cookies in the whole world "monster cookies." In each drawing the students have to use at least five different colors when painting their monsters. I could see this project going hand in hand with a language arts class. After the students draw their monsters they have to write a short story about it. They could include background about the monster who he/she is and what they do all day and then talk a little about what the monster is doing in the picture they have created.
