For this project we were introduced the collage technique of making art. We watched a segment on Eric Carle and the way he did his artwork for his children's books. The way he did his projects were very interesting to me. I was excited to try this collage technique. We first painted different pieces of paper to make unique textures. I swirled my brush around so the background looked like water and i used the end of my paintbrush to create a different texture for the turtles shell. I enjoyed this project very much.
An extension activity a teacher could do in their classroom would be to first read an Eric Carle book then have the students experiment with paints and show them different ways to create texture. Then have the students cut out scenes from their painted papers. I think students would really enjoy this activity.
