Eric Carle Collages

Here are some examples of fabulous artwork from Mrs. Edinger's 3rd grade class. They created an under-the-sea themed fish painting. They learned to mix tints and shades by adding white and black to pure paint on to paper. Next they cut out shapes to make a collage.

Collage is a technique also used by Eric Carle in his popular children's books.
