Second grade students learned to observe the work of artists and make predictions about their art making. Students worked in small groups to observe Eric Carle's illustrations. After documenting their predictions, students watched videos of Eric Carle working in his studio creating painted paper which he then used to cut into smaller shapes for his illustrations. The students also observed that Eric Carle made several illustrations of animals. After learning about Eric Carle's process, second graders painted several sheets of painted paper using brushes, sponges, toilet paper rolls, bubble wrap and other found objects. The painted paper was then cut apart and collaged into lovable creatures!
