Eric Carle Inspired Art

The famous children's book artist Eric Carle uses his own methods to create art.  He paints on tissue paper to create unique textures and patterns.  Then he sketches on a piece of paper to create the actual size that the picture will be. After placing the sketch onto a dry piece of tissue paper, he uses a knife to cut each piece of the art.  He then glues each piece in place after he has everything set in the right spot.  

Extension Activities:
1. Create a story based off of the picture.
2. Create an art piece based of a science concept.
