Drawing Creative Creatures

As artists we often use our creativity to make art. But what does it mean to be creative? For this art lesson we will explore this question as we use our imaginations to create a creative creature and habitat. Artists can choose to draw their creature and habitat using traditional drawing/painting materials or a digital art program such as PIXLR, Kleki, or Google Canvas.

Inspiration

We will look at several surrealist artists for inspiration including Royal Lacey Scoville, Michelin Hess, Studio Ghibli, Jem Ham, Carla Sonheim, Henry Darger, Remedios Varo, Gyyporama, Leonara Carrington, Konan Lim, Dorothea Tanning, Kayla Mahaffey, Salvador Dali, and Nicoletta Ceccoli.
