Prepared paper collage with Eric Carle 




Students at Belmont had the opportunity to see a traveling puppet show at Lincoln’s prestigious Lied Center for the performing arts.  They saw the Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia use puppetry to bring to life three of Eric Carle’s famous children’s books.

To get ready for the show students studied artist Eric Carle’s life and work and also made their own prepared paper collages. The elements and principles of art that they learned included: line, shape, texture, and balance.

The following are a few example of the Eric Carle study by 1st -3rd grade students.
