Eric Carle Inspired Art

After reading several books with illustrations by the famous Eric Carle, the children have enjoyed using one of his techniques, ripped paper, to create their own pictures.
Here are self-portraits created with ripped paper. 



We decided to turn our drama centre into the local Valley. Here is our Eric Carle inspired tree that we will use to track seasonal changes. 

At home: Try creating your own pictures using ripped paper. Tearing the paper is a very simple activity your child can engage in to strengthen the small muscles he/she needs for writing.
