I love incorporating objects into my art, and enjoy showing young (and not-so-young) readers how found object art can help even non-artists brainstorm character and story ideas, free up one’s creativity in a fun and low-pressure venue. Also HURRAY, I now have a picture book that incorporates found objects (namely, crayons): Gurple and Preen: A Broken Crayon Cosmic Adventure by Linda Sue Park and me. Educators! Also feel free to share my Look Again: Found Object Doodles slideshow to help inspire your young creators.
