Art Every Day Month (Nov 7): Drawing Challenge
Most days, the way I’m creative is being the art director of my camps and classes.
After we are all cleaned up and it’s almost ready to go home, the kids love to play a game I invented called the Drawing Contest.
Everyone gets a black pen and a big piece of paper.
I tell them…
1. It’s fun!
2. You’ll be surprised!
3. You have to listen and draw what I say. After a couple of minutes, I’ll give you the next suggestion.
Ready to play?
Here’s an example:
First, draw a rocket in the middle of the page
Make sure your rocket has three windows.
Attached to the rocket by a rope is an astronaut
The astronaut is holding hands with a monkey
With the other hand the astronaut is holding a three scoop ice cream cone
On the ground is a jumpy house with three girls inside
On top of the jumpy house is King Kong
A bird eating a snake is sitting on King Kong’s shoulder
Also on the ground draw a rectangle
Inside the rectangle make two mountains joined by a bridge
A man is bungee jumping off the bridge
Put two different fruits on the mountaintops
Actually, the rectangle is a fishtank! Add two sharks and a turtle
In the air somewhere, draw three hearts that fit inside each other
Make the heart fly by adding wings
Put high heeled shoes on the flying heart
Finally, add three things to your picture to surprise me and see if I can figure it out!

Thanks Dirty Footprints Studio for writing a fun post about Scrappers.
