Eric Carle Alphabet

We finished our author study on Eric Carle by making an Eric Carle Alphabet book. We created sheets of tissue paper using glue and water. Once the sheets were dried, we cut out different shapes. 
The hard part was trying to come up with pictures for each letter.

This art project felt manageable because the students made the pictures a little bit bigger than a piece of paper. I went to my art teacher and asked advice she said, "little kids do better with little pieces of paper." In the past, I have done enormous posters but thought "I can't do 26 huge posters."  I mod podge over them to give them an extra POP! If you look closely at Eric Carle's work it's all about shapes, and it is pretty simple to replicate.

This is what it looked like across the room.
