Sendak's artwork is universally acclaimed and instantly recognized anywhere in the world. Importantly, these are artworks of true technical precision and artistic superiority. These evocative images transmuted together within the whimsical imaginings of Sendak's beautiful world are perhaps the most powerful kind of art. These are joyfully familiar images, a child astride strong shoulders, lovingly sitting on a mothers lap, or just playing pretend with imaginary friends in fantastic places. Also, it’s hard for kids at this grade level to get the right amount of water mixed in with the paint.These original artworks from Maurice Sendak are a magical journey through the secret places of imagination. They are more vibrant and I think the kids would have liked the intense colors. I used cake watercolors, but I really wish I used liquid.
They added scales, swirls, dots, stripes and colored in a few sections.įinally, the kids painted their monsters using watercolor paints. Using a black crayon, the children drew one large monster onto a sheet of 9″ x 18″ watercolor paper. On the white board, I drew a few friendly monsters and waited for the giggles.
I photocopied a few of the pages from the book and place them onto the tables. Perfect! What little kid doesn’t like monsters? While racking my brain, I glanced up at my bookshelf and noticed a worn copy of Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Tired of those particular lessons, I wanted something new. I knew I wanted to do a watercolor lesson with my first graders and typically I do a fish or a flower.
