Over the past few weeks we read several books written and/or illustrated by Eric Carle. The children loved his stories. We started to pay close attention to the elements in his work that made him an effective storyteller. We examined and discussed his style of illustrating and also noted recurrent themes in his story subject matter. Then we employed these techniques to create our own "mini-stories". We worked together to make art that mimicked Mr. Carle's painting style and then we assembled story collages using scraps of this community paper.
