ART HERO, Jonnie Downs – Mrs. Kessler's second grade class
Jonnie Downs inspired Mrs. Kessler's second grade class with the timely tale of "Where the Wild Things Are." He led the students in a discussion of how you can't judge a book by its cover and that often even monstrous looking creatures can actually be heroes once you get to know them. After the discussion we reminded the students about a previous guest artist, Alex Pearson and his Monster Friends Poster Series: http://familytreedesign.net/. The student's had a blast creating their own "Friendly Monster Puppets" from fabric, ribbons, found objects and paint. The stories that go along with them explain how even though the puppets might like scary, deep down they are heroes!
Thank you Jonnie these are so cute! I love the drawings and explanations they made.
