For this project, we first watched a video on how Eric Carle makes the colored paper that he uses. Then we read on of Eric Carle's Stories.Then we used his techniques and wetted a piece of paper with water and then put daps of blue, yellow, red, white, black colors that were each mixed with a harder before hand. Once we had the dabs of paint on the sheet, we took paint brushes and mixed the colors together and covered the entire sheet. We then did different designs on the sheet using the points of a paint brush, or different items like beads, a pattern sheet, or sponges. Once we were done with these, we had to let them dry completely. While these were drying for a couple of days, we designed a pattern on a sheet of construction paper and got the story sheet ready to go. Once the sheets were dry, we traced our shapes on the colored papers, cut them out and put them together on the construction to make our story overlapping the art. To finish up the project, we did a simple sentence as if it were in illustration in a story.
The sentence in the thought bubble says: Misty, Sassy, and Wizzer: "Wish our family would arrive to spend forever in Heaven with us!!"
Extension Activity: As an extension activity, you could chose another Author of a book or series of books and have the students create a story page based off of the techniques they used. An extension lesson that you could do is use is Beverly Cleary and her ideas behind the story lines. Beverly bases her storys on real world experiences. After you go over her ideas and read one of her stories, you can have the students do a one page story illustration relating to an experience from their own personal lives.
