Today we turned to author and illustrator, Eric Carle, for our inspiration. We learned that art is a way to communicate feelings, thoughts, ideas, and stories. We also talked about the difference between 2D and 3D and introduced the term mobile and sculpture.
The children used several different processes to create a mobile retelling the events in the story "The Very Hungary Caterpillar". We made a furry little caterpillar, some yummy food for him to munch on, a paper mache cocoon, and finally a beautiful butterfly. There were lots of steps to complete with this project and the kids (and moms) did great.
Today was the last class in the Art with a Buddy series. We had so much fun learning about some of the different elements of art and some different methods for creating art. A BIG THANK YOU to all of the sweet kids and parents who took part in the classes.
If anyone would like to see another similar class offered during the school year, please let me know. Right now, I don't plan on scheduling an Art with a Buddy class until next summer, but I would do one during the school year if there is enough interest. Also keep in mind that you can Host an Event any time!
