Second Graders started their sailboat pictures in the style of Eric Carle. After learning all about Eric Carle and his techniques, students started their artwork by painting their paper they will be using for their oceans by mixing blue, turquoise and white paint and using paint brushes, paint scrapers, sponges and rollers for texture. The next step is to learn how yellow, cyan and magenta can be mixed to create the secondary colors. The final step will be cutting out shapes from their painted papers and collaging those shapes to create a beautiful sailboat scene. Now, I'm saying sailboats, but I'm sure I will also see pirate ships, speedboats, submarines, dolphins, sharks and more. Let's let those imaginations run wild!
