5T’s ‘Wild Things’

We have been looking at the illustrations of Maurice Sendak, in ‘Where The Wild Things Are’. We made studies of his illustrations and then created a bank of the features his illustrations have (e.g. their eyes, noses, face shapes etc.). This helped us to spot similarities between his ‘Wild Things’ and we discussed his style.

We then created our own ‘Wild Things’ in the style of Sendak. We experimented with different combinations of heads, bodies, feet etc. before picking our favourite one – which we will use to create our final outcome (using water colours and black fine liner). Make sure you come back soon to see how they turned out!

Pictures below: some experimental sketches of our own ‘Wild Things’
