My pictures are collages. (Á¦ ±×¸²Àº ÄݶóÁê±â¹ýÀ»
»ç¿ëÇÑ °Å¿¹¿ä.) I didn?t invent the collage.
Artists like Picasso and Matisse and Leo Lionni and Ezra Jack Keats
made collages. Many children have done collages at home or in their
classrooms. In fact, some children have said to me, ?Oh, I can do
that.? I consider that the highest compliment.
These papers are my palette and after
they have dried I store them in color-coded drawers.
Let?s say I want to create a caterpillar:
I cut out a circle for the head from a red tissue paper and many
ovals for the body from green tissue papers; and then I paste them
with wallpaper glue onto an illustration board to make the picture.
The
video, Eric
Carle: Picture Writer, shows exactly how I do this. Many children and teachers
have seen the video and then made their own papers and pictures.
You might want to try it. It?s messy, but fun. The video is available
from your local bookstore, Philomel Books (800.631.8571),
Scholastic Book Clubs, or from this web site at http://www.eric-carle.com/pwriter.html
There is so much wonderful art in
the world. If you are interested in Picasso, Matisse, Klee, Brueghel,
Léger and other artists, you can find their work in museums
and in art books.
