GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — One ArtPrize artist is reaching into the minds of children for his entry this year.
"I get excited about kids drawings..I get excited about things that everybody makes but in particular kids."
As a children’s book author and illustrator, Aaron Zenz knows kids and monsters. He thinks combining the two is the perfect recipe for ArtPrize 10.
"I'm celebrating their art in the best way I know how which is making a piece of artwork myself."
During the last school year, Zenz reached out to seven Grand Rapids area schools, asking students to submit their monster designs. He was flooded by 3,000 entries.
