Eric Carle Paper Project

For this lesson, we learned about Eric Carle and had to create an animal with paper. Eric Carle is a famous author and illustrator who has created many stories about animals. For our art project with this lesson, we had to create an animal using different pieces of paper. We were given an outline of an animal we chose and had to cut out pieces of paper to fill in the template. We had several choices of paper to use and couldn't use just the same piece for the whole animal. This was a fun activity that students would enjoy because they get to choose an animal they like and cut out paper to create that animal. We then wrote a brief description about our animal.

An extension activity we could do for this lesson involves language arts. We wrote a brief description of our animal we created but another activity we could've done with this project is to write a story involving our animal and then create a title page with a background for the animal we just made. This goes well with Eric Carle because he is an author and illustrator.
