3rd Grade students learned about the author and artist, Eric Carle. They painted A LOT of paper to use in their animal/creature collages, just like Eric Carle did! In the process, they learned about several watercolor painting techniques; wet-on-wet, wax resist and adding salt to the wet paint.
The following week, students used the painted papers and created a real or imaginary creature, animal or insect. They drew backgrounds for their collage with crayon.

Those are cool! We did some as well using textured painted paper. It was tempera and a lot of non-traditional painting tools:
