Kindergarten Polar Bear in the style of Eric Carle

In art class we looked at books written and illustrated by Eric Carle.  Each student painted sheets of paper in his style to create the background and the polar bear fur.  Then they studied the shape of the polar bears body, and but one piece at a time to make a collage.

They learned about:
Eric Carle, collage, tints and shapes.  They also worked on classroom safety with scissors, and cutting practice.
