The Eric Carle Collages took a little more time than the other projects, but was probably one of the more interesting projects. The first week we learned the techniques that Eric Carle uses when he makes his books. After watching his video, we were able to create what we were going to use to make our animals out of. To get different textures on our colored papers we used objects such as the backs of paint brushes and fingers. The next week, we were then able to use those colors to create our own story and characters. So i used the pinks, greens, and grays that I made previously in my my "two page" creation. It's an under the sea story about a very friendly crab who wants friends. So in my picture you can see the very friendly crab asking the very colorful fish to be his friend.
Extension Activity:
An extension activity that could be done with this project is chose one of Eric Carle's books and study the animals or environment they live in. So if you chose "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" then your class could study the bear, where they live, what they eat, and learn about hibernation.
