After the video introduction, we looked closely at how Eric Carle creates his own paper for his collage work he uses as the illustrations of his books. Next, students created their own texture and printed paper using layers of paint and gadgets. This was the first day of class so I didn't take a lot of pictures! During snack I read The Lonely Firefly and continued to notice the awesome textures used for different objects such as clothing, fur of animals etc. He also uses uses different types of line to create his
illustration such as in the Fireworks:

Thursday during snack time I read, Getting to Know the World's Most Greatest Artists, VAN GOGH, by Mike Venezia, we looked at Starry Night by and discovered Quiet and Loud lines he used in his quick brush strokes of the two main parts of the landscape and sky.
