'The Monster Project' is a creative endeavor that aims to celebrate kids' drawings and encourage them to develop their artistic skills. The project is made up of many artists that take the kids' drawings of monsters and develop them into magnificent stylized art. Whether that means making their monsters turn into an animated cartoon character or a clay animation -- each artist uses their unique skills to inspire the children with their potential.
The project is a response to a decline in support of arts in schools and an adamant effort to illustrate that art has the potential to be a legitimate career path. With The Monster Project's Kickstarter campaign, it hopes to expand to more schools across the United States.
