We then began the task of creating the paper we would be using for our entire Eric Carle unit. Each student had the opportunity to create two painted papers. They chose their colors as I walked around the room with the different paints. Once a student chose a color they would proceed to use proper brush technique (which is reviewed before the painting) to spread the paint as they chose.
Once the students had finished their paint work. They received their secret tool to add their finishing touches to their art.
The students' special tool was an ear swab. With this they were able to create the line work in the paint as you can see above.
The painted papers we prepared were long and thin, it was trim from another project. The dimensions were not important since it was going to be cut up.
