The author and illustrator, Eric Carle, gave our second graders their inspiration. After learning about the life and artistic style of Eric Carle we read and explored his illustrations. We created textured papers with paint and various items as the base to our project. The students then drew their own animal and created pattern pieces for use on the textured paper. Each student cut out their pieces and put them together to create an original animal in the same style as Mr. Carle. As you can see we have quite the colorful zoo in our display case. I think Eric Carle would be impressed!
