First grade read The Grouchy Lady Bug by Eric Carle. We also talked about the art technique collage. The students used tissue paper and paper mache glue to make green and red paper the first class. The second class they cut and glued shapes to make their lady bug. I think their favorite part was making the angry eye brows and the frown. They also added little baby lady bugs with the left over red paper.
Did you mean that the kids collaged the tissue paper pieces onto another piece of paper with some kind of gloss or matte medium? I don't get the paper mache' reference. Thanks for the clarification.
ReplyDeleteThey used paper mache glue to apply the tissue paper to the background paper. I call it a glue sandwich, glue, tissue paper, glue.
