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.
