Introducing THE ANIMAL/ ZANIMAL Collection

The character Oddvark grew out of this collection.  He is the aardvark with the weird characteristics that make him a ZANIMAL. There are many more to follow: the Manatee/Manateehee, the Polar Bear/Molar Bear - to name a few.  These characters were used in a summer drawing class for kids - I talked to them about realistic drawing - "seeing" what is in front of you and drawing it as best as you can,  and "imagination" drawing - drawing from your symbol systems or imaginative mind.   Much of this was based upon the theories put forth in Betty Edward's book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
