Eric Carle Portraits - 3rd grade

Using the papers we painted using intermediate colors, Third Grade learned the proper placement of facial features by creating a portrait.  I gave them a pattern to trace for each head.  Next they made their hair and then added eyes, nose and mouth.  As you can see, each students used their own creativity to do the rest!

Eric Carle Landscapes-4th grade

The first thing we did was to go outside and watch as a student ran to the end of the field.  We discussed how things that are far away look small.  

First, students used the intermediate, tints and shaded painted papers they made earlier to created the "land" for their landscape.  Next, they added something small in their background, something "medium" size in the middle ground and then something big in the foreground.
