Change Collages!

Inspired by the first grade concept Change, and the Eric Carle author study happening in the classroom, each first grader made two "Eric Carle Inspired" collages during art class. These collages were created with hand painted paper, made by the entire first grade community.  They were based on a change each student found important; thinking about what it looked like before and after the change occurred. After the collages were complete, they wrote about this change in the classroom. It was a lot of thoughtful and fun work! Read the descriptions...seriously. I am particularly fond of the pencil.
