Eric Carle is a famous author and illustrator and while reading one of his books "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" we because interested in the artwork in it. We read a few more of his books and Abby even brought in a book from home to share. The artwork was similar in all of them. We found he had an awesome website with video tutorials on it that explained how he created his fabulous colourful art http://www.eric-carle.com/slideshow_paint.html and . They are collages. He paints layers of paint on tissue paper with different patterns and then he creates a stencil and cuts out the images piece by piece. We had to adapt his technique. I think the results are amazing. What do you think?

Gorgeous work Room 6. I made a quilt for William's little cousin Linden using the Hungry Caterpillar fabrics; it is very cute. You made some really beautiful art pieces using Eric Carle's technique. Who knows, maybe some of you will write a book one day :)
I really liked the butterflies and the flowers.
I liked all your art work!
