C Technique for Carle's Illustrations "To create a collage like Eric Carle, the first thing you'll need to do is gather your materials. Carle uses tissue paper, tracing paper, pencils, glue, crayons, and colored pencils for his illustrations. Magazines can also work as a paper source. You'll also need a thicker paper, such as card stock, to glue your collage on. Carle's tissue paper is a little different. He paints acrylic paint on top of the tissue paper, which makes it stiffer. This way he can also make patterns or prints on top of it, if he wants." Carle used animals as his primary theme. This was what his story books were about. B The Very Hungry Caterpillar is about a caterpillar that has to grow big and strong. He has quite an appetite, so he eats through all kinds of food. This help him become a butterfly in the end. This story is about a little girl wanting to play with the moon. She asked her dad to get it for her, so he did when the moon was just the right size. The moon kept shrinking, and then grew and grew. This book is about a ladybug who is just in a bad mood. He wants to fight someone that is bigger and bigger than the next animal. It also teaches about the clock and how the sun sits in the sky. This book is not really a book, but an exercise. It teaches kids different movements for them to mimic. Using the book "Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me," we will learn the different phases of the moon. This is perfect for 3rd and 4th grade. This goes with science, and the solar system.
