Eric Carle Inspired Group Project
ceramics
The second grade continues with the use of primary colors while studying the Non-Objective artist Piet Mondrian while creating Animals with a Mondrian Twist. They also incise drawings into a sheet of foam and do multiple prints with ink using a brayer. They learn the slab method of hand built ceramics and make an imprinted tile. They study author and artist Eric Carle and work in a group to make an animal based on one of his famous books using tiny pieces of multi colored paper to create a large mural finished with mod podge. They also study Romera Bearden, Henry Matisse and Marcel Ducamp to create a ripped paper collage.
