Eric Carle - Insect Art

We started by practising our insects using our whiteboard and pens.

We looked at sizes, shape and discussed how to fill the space.

Then we made our used the paint to do lots of different layers onto our paper. We used different colours, brushes and sponges to make different textures. 

We had to wait for it to dry and do another layer the next day. 

We made a final plan of our shape on a piece of paper. Then we began cutting out our paper into the different shapes of our insects. 

We had to think carefully about where we placed the different body parts. 

We had:

Antennae

6 Legs

Abdomen

Thorax

Head

Eyes

 

Here are our finished insects. We are feeling so proud of ourselves for persevering and getting our art finished.
