Eric Carle Inspired Animal Book

In the art room we painted huge sheets of paper with lots of colors and used combs and rollers to add texture. Then for the next few weeks we collaged shapes from the painted paper to create animals. Finally we made a foam cover and added more pages on which we could color or write. 

  

Animal Shape Collages - First Grade

We read the book Color Zoo by Lois Ehlert and were inspired by the bright shapes and colors. The first graders chose from many paper shapes and colors to create animal collages of their own.
