Lessons on the Painted Papers in the Style of Eric Carle
Students in grades 2 and 3 learned about design by repeating lines and shapes over a solid background. The author/illustrator Eric Carle uses this technique in his books. We viewed a video of how he creates his papers and collages in his studio in Northampton.
Some students created circular paper weavings from the painted papers and others created 3-D collages.

Lesson on drawing trees
Using observation, an important skill used in art and in science, students viewed the shapes of various types of trees.

They then drew and painted pictures of a tree and the sky of their choice.
