Students from the Magnolia classroom have been busy exploring color, color mixing, and texture this fall. We’ve also been reading books by Eric Carle and looking closely at how he creates his pictures. We made “Eric Carle” paper for use in collage and other art projects. We have been inspired to combine these two interests into a Halloween costume project. Students painted Halloween costumes inspired by “Eric Carle animals”. Eric Carle is the author and illustrator of many books including “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and the children have excitedly generated a list of possibilities for their t-shirts: polka-dot kangaroos! pink rabbits! green rhinoceroses! patchwork dogs!
