I'll guide young artists through drawing prompts, telling stories and sharing history about the topics we draw. Kids are encouraged to use their imaginations and make decisions as they draw. One of the goals is to build self-confidence because we know there's no wrong way to do art! Hi, I’m your host, Aunt Dewey. I’m a former New York City kindergarten teacher. Now I work in tech teaching adults how to use various software, platforms, and programs. I started Imagination Draw Along because I think a low-stim, screen-free experience is good for kids and aspiring artists. We move slowly on purpose. I encourage listeners to make their own artistic choices as they follow along. It’s a light hearted show that helps build critical thinking skills by guiding the imagination through wonder. Episodes are 10-15 minutes long. New episodes will be available every Tuesday and Thursday. (I recently transitioned from Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Thanks for drawing with me today!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T22:17:09.930422+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/imagination-draw-along-7682620"},"episode":{"title":"Let's draw a monarch butterfly's metamorphosis","slug":"let-s-draw-a-monarch-butterfly-s-metamorphosis","published_at":"2026-05-26T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/imagination-draw-along-7682620/let-s-draw-a-monarch-butterfly-s-metamorphosis","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/imagination-draw-along-7682620","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/imagination-draw-along/2854830","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/370309/2854830/imagination-draw-along/2026_05_25_03_01_16_ab6a0a07-a8d3-44e2-99f5-e23b71a5c38e.mp3","summary":"Today I want to draw a monarch butterfly's metamorphosis. We'll fold our paper into four sections. In each section, we'll draw a part of the metamorphosis. This picture will have an egg laid on a milkweed plant, a caterpillar, a chrysalis, and finally a monarch butterfly. I'll let you know which colors appear in nature, but if you don't want to use those colors, that's your artist's choice. Imagination Draw Along is an intentionally calm space for artists to develop confidence in their decisions making skills by making artistic choices. It's a safe space because there is no wrong way to do art. Here are the three ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our picture: When larva pupates, or becomes a butterfly in the chrysalis, what do you think is happening in there? What stage of metamorphosis do you think would be the most fun: being an safe egg? being a hungry caterpillar? being a changing chrysalis? or being a flying butterfly? Larva eat milkweed leaves to grow big and strong. What foods make you feel big and strong?
