So in honor of the great Eric Carle and his wonderful children's illustrations, I introduced his art making process to the 1st and 2nd grade students through the movie "Picture Writer." The 1st graders just completed an assignment where we made drawings of planets, so it made since to connect them with the book "Draw me a Star." I also was inspired by Deep Space Sparkle's Carle butterflies. Check out what they have been up too!
We started off painting papers just like Carle would, only rather than working with tissue paper we used drawing paper.
Students collaged butterflies on drawing paper, then cut and pasted those butterflies onto a piece of colored construction paper.
Those working on star collages, first used oil pastels for the background, then cut out their stars.
