Creative Creatures

Flawless art does not exist! Imperfect art is how creatures are created. Many children at the elementary school age are discouraged from drawing or creating art because they believe their subject should be enthusiastically and evenly proportioned. In this mysterious but interesting world, the reader converges into the writer's journey of creating unproportioned creatures with silly oddities. Creative Creatures craftily empowers children to use a variety of recycled collage materials to help create unique carnivalesque creatures in a playful space. Though not an activity book, this picture book does encourage creativity through the use of art mediums. As a rhyming picture book, it can be read in school libraries and used by home schooled children to encourage creativity. Art teachers can use Creative Creatures to facilitate lessons or as a student guide to explore creating during free art time.
