Eric Carle: Day 2

Do Now: Draw an underwater scene that you might see while you were scuba diving. 

Today the 4th graders had a special guest, so for this week 1st and 2nd grade had art on Monday and Tuesday, and 3rd and 4th grade will have art on Wednesday and Thursday. 

First, we read "From Head to Toe", an interactive book by Eric Carle. Listen to the book below.

Our 2nd Eric Carle project is 2 parts. Today, we worked on part 1. First, we watched a short slideshow from Eric Carle's website about how he makes the paper for his collages. You can take a look at the slideshow here. 

Carle paints his own paper, so we did too! Today, students painted paper in vibrant colors. We'll let the designs dry and collage with them next week!
