Eric Carle Picture Book Example

Under the deep blue sea, all the sea creatures were happy, until the big black boat came moving in.

In art class we explored colors and textures through using paint. Eric Carle creates collages with different colors and paints, to create beautiful picture books. I used this method to create my own under water theme picture book page.

An extension to this activity could be for them to finish writing the book or story they created in the picture. They could also make the rest of the picture book pages and write the story or simply finishing writing the story in a work document.
