Fun to see you over at Misty's blog! ...Hi Amy! Fun to see you over at Misty's blog! Before I became a certificated teacher, I was a museum educator, most recently at the Children's Museum of Manhattan. It was there that I first met Eric Carle when he came to do a presentation of the work he does. Prior to that, I didn't know he paints tissue paper and cuts out shapes to create his illustrations. (Makes sense--I had just never thought about it!) He spent a great deal of time painting tissue with a variety of colors before creating scenes for our visitors--and then letting them (and me!) try. It was great! Since then, I've moved cross country and gone to hear him speak twice--the last time when the 10 Little Rubber Ducks book was released. He is a fascinating man and his books and Ezra Jack Keats' books are always the ones I turn to when I want to teach my students about illustrators who use mixed media to create their illustrations. I'm so glad you have a similar appreciation for him! In regards to texture, I think it is such an important component when teaching students with different needs. Tomorrow we are doing a texture collage project with our medically fragile buddies as an extension to our Fabric science unit. It's going to be so fun! Thanks so much for sharing your art project!! <br /><br />Angela<br /><br /><a href="http://abcprimary.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Primarily <br />Primary</a>Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166028465983723691noreply@blogger.com
