Foundation students have had lots of fun the past fortnight immersing themselves in 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle. Again, we spent some class time discussing the way Eric Carle creates his artwork and the techniques he uses. We talked a lot about 'texture' and 'colour' and making collages out of painted papers.
For our artwork, we painted the caterpillar's body and head with balloons. We made sure the balloons weren't too big and... no... none of them popped!!
Then we cut out fruit shapes with some left over textured painted paper. We had a lot of fun using the hole punch to cut out little holes in our fruit, so it looked just like the book!
Adding some crayon details and highlights finished off our artwork. I think they all look so colourful! I especially love all those little pieces of fruit. Here are Daniel and Nash's fabulous caterpillars up close.
Well done Foundation students - you all worked really hard on these!
