Eric Carle is a well known author and illustrator, especially among the younger set. We watched the video, "Eric Carle, Picture Writer" in class, and then used his methods to create our own collages. I like how he just makes decorative papers without an image in his head. He just makes them, and later pulls the sheets he needs to create the image.
After I cover the room in paper (this is one messy project), I set up for stations to create the colorful papers. The girls splatter-painted, rolled, scratched, and stamped their hearts out. They loved it!
You can see the mess! During the next two class sessions, they girls cut out shapes for their collage and glued them onto large pieces of paper.
Working on the floor was easier for most of the girls.
The one above was one of my favorites! I loved the rhythm of the snakes! They are large as well, she used the entire page. Wonderful!
I loved the ears on the animal on the right!
