In our last project, we created a two-page layout for a story book based off the artwork of Eric Carle. We watched a video on how he created his illustrations. Next we took steps to create these kinds of illustrations. We painted a 12X18 paper and made some kind of texture for our "cut outs." Next we drew images to use for our storybook which could have been one of his stories or it could be a made up story. Once we drew the sketch out we cut them out and they acted as stencils which we then traced on to the back of our textured paintings. Lastly, we glued them on to a 12X18 paper and made a two page storybook.
As an extension activity we would take one of Eric Carle's books like the Very Hungry Caterpillar and each student would be responsible for one page of the book to recreate and then we would hang them up on the wall in chronological order and as if we were reading the book. We would also use the same technique as Eric Carle did to create his book.
My version of Eric Carle's technique. I made up the story for my book and I made a fish and seaweed and coral. This project was really fun to design and create.
