Manitou Monster Project

Manitou Monster Project The Manitou Monster Project is a unique artist collaboration between kindergarten students and adult artists in our community.

The Manitou Monster Project is a unique collaboration between school children and adult artists. Kindergartners from Manitou Elementary will be asked to draw a monster from their incredible imaginations, then adult artists from the Manitou community will be asked to recreate those monsters in their own medium. By collaborating with kindergartners, we hope to inspire creativity and imagination, wh

ile also providing a platform for adult artists to showcase their talent and contribute to a larger artistic vision.

The monsters are almost here!

Join us for the 3rd Annual Manitou Monster Project Showcase! This year’s event brings together student imagination and local artist collaboration in two creative projects that you won’t want to miss:

Manitou Monster Project
Kindergarteners dreamed up wild monsters, and local artists reimagined them in their own styles. See the original drawings side-by-side with the artists’ creations!

The 3D Monster Project
Fourth grade students learned to use Tinkercad to design digital monsters. Over the summer, classes selected base designs to 3D print. Now, as fifth graders, students are customizing and painting these printed monsters in art class, transforming them into truly unique creations.
