The project is made up of many artists that take the [kids' drawings of monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsdrawsity-unusual-suspects) campaign, it hopes to expand to more schools across the United States. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Kid's Art Projects:** Exploring the trend of artists using kid's art projects as inspiration for their work - **Art Education:** Exploring trends in art education initiatives and how they are being implemented to address the decline in support of the arts in schools - **Creative Collaborations:** Exploring trends in collaborative art projects between artists and students that inspire creativity and build confidence in children ### Who This Affects Most - **Education:** There is a lot of potential for the education industry to partner with artists and art programs to provide new and exciting ways to inspire children. - **Art Therapy:** Expanding on art therapy as a means to help children who may struggle with anxiety or other emotional issues express themselves through art. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can look at ways to adapt kids' art and ideas into TV shows, movies, animations, and more to create meaningful stories and content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Friendly AI Doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childs-doodles.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Creativity Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-for-creativity.md) - [Children-Focused Design Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-artists-design-contest.md) - [Kids Art Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-art-show.md) - [NFT-Funded Children's Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-project.md) - [Unique Children's Anime Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-you-3d.md) - [AI Kid's Coloring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorcraft-ai.md)
