What Happens When Professional Artists Recreate Kids’ Monster Doodles In Their Own Unique Style (New Pics)
We all know that children have vivid imaginations and creative visualization comes pretty naturally to them. However, nowadays lots of children are so into ready-made images from sources such as TV, video games, computers and much more, that it is very important to encourage and inspire children to use their imaginations and explore creativity. To help them develop their imaginations and encourage them to follow their creative potential, artists from all over the world have teamed up to create 'The Monster Project', which was featured on Bored Panda before.
Celebrating their 4th year anniversary, the project invites elementary students to draw monsters. Once their monsters are done, artists give them a little of artistic touch by bringing them to life. Then, the new interpretations are delivered back to children in order to demonstrate new art techniques within the original creative context.
Scroll down the page and see how monsters are being brought to life!

It was interesting to see different takes to the original kid illustrations. Some are close to the original where the artist or artists thought about what the kid wanted to illustrate and tried to stay close to it and "only" fleshing it out and bringing it to life. Others have big changes and many additions made to the original. And some are somewhere in between (missed some important details an/or did they best to keep the themes).

Some are really cute, but the others are nightmare fuel!! :) Did the kid see the all the final results? Were they scared?
ChiveChilly 5 years ago
I hope they saw the final results! These are so cool and I know that, as a little kid, I would have loved to see my doodles turned into amazing artwork.

Seriously, they should have done this for Monsters Inc. have kids draw them & then use it as a template. Almost all of them are great for that movie!

I really have to doubt that the original illustrations were done by children. This is an overused ploy having adults draw like children. There are tell-tale signs that this is the case here.

Wow! What a pleasure cruise to look at these! I have just had half an hour with my head in the clouds absorbing all the fantastic detail! Brilliant! I love articles like this.

Great pics. You definitely have the knack of interpreting these kids drawings.

The pics are cool but i think it’s stupid Why diminice a kids artwork. They have spend a lot of time doing it and then the aduts find it lacking. The parents rather have a cool grown-up drawing hanging on the wall. I hope no parents will have their kids artwork turned into “cool” artwork. If I were a kid I would never pick up a crayon again.

Interesting how the artist #43 took artistic license to make this picture all about the new world order. Which is not in the child's picture at all. I mentioned this in a comment below and it was deleted?!. Why?!. 1UP= ONE UNITED POWER= NEW WORLD ORDER= ILLUMINATI. Checker board design, and Colorado mountains in the back ground . #45 went way off the rails to and adding a skull 💀as a head... Skulls did not smile like the picture which has no teeth. And of course adding symbols and images a child wouldn't understand and making the robot moor masculine by supine the three rockets and giving it just one and then adding the all seeing EYE at the top that isn't what is in the picture. who wants to bet that this comment will also be removed because freedom of speech means nothing to the NWO. I guess that's up to bored panda who they serve. This is my opinion.
