Animal Collage

We are learning to create a piece of art using collage.

To inspire our artwork, we looked at the books and illustrations created by Eric Carle.

He made his own collage tissue paper and then completed the animals.  We made our own paper too, using different textures around the school and then we dyed the paper.

First, we chose our animal and we talked and wrote about the animal.  Then, we looked at the different shapes that made up the animal and drew those.  After that, we chose different papers to create the animal and the background.
