Paint By Monster!
January 9, 2018 8:14 AM   Subscribe

A furry muppety guy teaches you all about art! How to read it and make it, and some people who are good at it! This is a smattering:
Copying and Stealing (With a playful remake of a Picasso painting) - Learning How to Draw ("No matter what Mommy and Daddy say, you're not great, you're not great!") - Magic Goldfish Sandwich (What does it feel like to walk in gold boots?) - Giant Terrible Robot ("But why did they give him a face?") - Monkey Shark Pizza ("Weird is where the good stuff comes from!")

There's lots more in the Paint By Monster YouTube channel. Rather than obsessively link all of it, I leave it for you to explore, and worth exploring it is!

Oh, man, my 7yo is going to love that "You're not great" song!

Wait, no, actually the opposite. But I'm going to love showing it to her!

I've just made it through the channel trailer and it's clear to me that my heart needed this today. Thank you, JHarris.

I loved this! And shared the love with a uke-playing artist I know. She also loved it.

I love this. Especially the part about failure being good for you.
