1ST GRADE: ERIC CARLE MIXED-UP ANIMALS

1st grade learned about texture with the help of illustrator, Eric Carle!

 Students created crazy mixed-up animals that had parts from many animals. Students looked at illustrations from The Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle to help with their own creation.

 Like Eric Carle, students gave their animals texture by doing texture rubbings on tissue paper.

 After the textures were created, they traced the shapes from their animals onto the tissue paper.

 The shapes were cut out and glued to their drawing.

The picture was finished with some crayon textures as well!

5TH GRADE: COMPLEMENTARY COLOR CREATURES

This was one of the coolest projects! And they are so wonderful!!

Students began by drawing half of a creatures head on the fold to create a symmetrical picture. They added details such as eyes and cool designs. Students traced over the pencil lined with black crayon.

 To transfer their design to the other half of their paper, students folded the paper so the drawing was on the inside. The outside of the paper was rubbed with a hard object the transfer the crayon to the other half.

Students chose a pair of complementary color pastels to color their creatures.

 Students cut out the creatures. The nose was cut and taped up to create the opening for the mouth. A metallic piece of paper was added to the mouth opening.
