Dave Devries’ has done an “Experiment With Children’s Art.”
He takes childrens’ drawings and re-creates them – sometimes adding scenery and backgrounds. There’s a whole book, and the samples on the site make it very tempting.

What a great lesson on how to stimulate your creativity! It’s as simple as “thinking like a kid.”
Easier said than done, though.
It could also segue into a discussion of the relative importance of creativity vs. technique (or skill)…

Yes, definitely easier said…
My first thought was, “hey – that’s a great idea. I should try that with my kids’ drawings!” Then I looked at them more closely. Wow – there’s a lot of interpretation in there, apart from the technical skill.
Some impressive imagination at work, there.

Whiplashed by the Throes of Creativity
A rather tedious monograph about the origins of creativity, with a peripheral reference to monsters drawn by kids.
