Monster Art Lessons, Art Book

These Monster Art Lessons on color come together as a creative student art book for Pre-K and Kindergarten. It is a gentle introduction to art for young students that teaches them how to draw, what contrasting colors are and how to mix their own colors.

Along the way, students use their imagination to create their own monsters, a monster landscape and their own world. There is a lesson plan for every page, which also makes it handy for sub plans.
