On the 100th day of school my students generated this list in art class. So the next time you find yourself suffering “The Case of the Missing Muse,” don’t send Nancy Drew looking for it; check this list out instead! Add YOUR favorite things to the comment section and maybe we can create a list of two hundred!

Check out an updated version of this list by clicking on this random word:  Smorglebump!

  1. I think that on this website that their should be pictures of some of the things that are listed so that VISITORS have somewhat of a guide. That is just my opinion though!

    • Becca, thank you for the feedback but I am not exactly sure what you mean? Please feel free to email me at cindyjo@wonderstrange.com with any questions or suggestions or post right here. We are always looking for advice on making Wonderstrange even better!

      • i think you should add pictures to the words because then they know how to draw the picture.

        • The point is to give you an idea of something you would like to draw when you aren’t sure of what to draw, not to base your own drawing off of something someone else drew. Like i’ve been wanting to draw but i had no idea of anything to draw and i looked at the list and now im going to attempt to draw a panda bear.

          • He has, a piont as well but more photos not so much drawing, you know to help. I mean I can’t draw ANYTHING without a picture

          • We're doing free Halloween line art every Tuesday until the end of October, then we're going to start slowly working through this list, so we're working on it!

    • i agree!

    • Just type the thing u want to draw on google images to c wat it looks like

    • me 2. i think that they should put steps to drawing those things

  2. Just saw your blog from the Strathmore link. Thanks for this cool list, my elementary students will love it. This is a really cool blog!

  3. on the list of 100 things to draw there is actually only 99 as ‘sunflowers in a vase’ is down twice, once as number 8 and again as number 37!!!!!! :o also i agree that there should be pictures as a guide to users :)

  4. I also agree that there should be some pictures………. but other than that I think it is awesome thank you so much!

  5. Pictures would help, but it’s still a really good list, I’ve drawn quite a few of them and now want some more ideas! Help me! :s

  6. I think there would be like a gallery to see what other have drawn. Like “box of candy” and next to it would read “see how others have drawn this picture” And that link would lead to a gallery that would show how the others have drawn a candy box.

    • After we're done doing Halloween lineart through the month of October we'll start working through this list!! We'll make a new post every Tuesday. ;)

  7. Cool stuff. Thanks for your help! I do agree that there should be some pictures though.

  8. I almost drew everything

  9. Just pick up a pencil and draw!

  10. i like to draw flowers, and abstract. My advice is just to use your imagination!

  11. cool but, i was kind of expecting things like : draw a magic shrimp riding on a teeter tooter with the worlds fatest chicken on a purple hippo underwater.

  12. guy with afro. thanks for the help.

  13. how about a marshmallow with a cute little smiley face and chocolate dripping down it's head!

  14. what in the world is a tee pee?

  15. how about a cat with a mustache

  16. I think they´re ugly to draw!

  17. then you need to move on to our updated list! http://www.wonderstrange.com/2012/100-things-to-d

  18. i love to draw what i think

  19. dontcha think they should tell ya how 2 DRAW the things!? just a thought;)

  20. thats kinda weird i mean seriously!

  21. this is borring

  22. I like drawing wedding dresses+cakes:)

  23. pina colada!

  24. i love this list and i think that everyone has there own opinions ….( some more open than others) but i love the list of things and have written them down… im going to go and find some more stuff to draw … (p.s love the idea of the marshmallow 1st on my list )

  25. damm i wish i knew hot to draw and had a little more of imagination it sucks i have to look up “some thing to draw” ,and not get it out my own stupid mind

  26. Very cool website! But possibly As a demonstration you could put a few Pictures and incurage the other people to draw and use their skills! But still a great Page!!
