Curate a tiny drawing museum
Draw a collection of impossible exhibits and give someone a very short tour.
Give it a go
- Choose a theme for the museum: unusual hats, invented vehicles or things a moon might keep in a drawer.
- Draw two to four exhibits in the spaces. Make each one different in some way, using shape, color or an imaginary job.
- Give the exhibits names. Write them if you want, ask an adult to help, or simply say the names during the tour.
- Invite someone to be the visitor. Point to each drawing and explain what it is. The visitor can choose a favorite detail without ranking the drawings.
A question to try
Which exhibit has the most surprising story?
Make it yours
Open a one-exhibit museum if that is enough for today. Or take turns being the curator and the visitor, inventing a new story for the same drawing.
When you’re finished
Put the pencil and crayons away. Keep the museum as one sheet, or use the reverse for a future collection. Nothing needs to be cut out or displayed.
