1st Grade Zebra Fever!

 These adorable zebras are based on the artwork of Eric Carle.  Students looked at some of his work, discussed how he painted paper first, and then got to work on 2 striped paintings.  Collage came next, with students cutting and gluing appropriate shapes.  Rounding the corners of the rectangular paper was difficult for some, but was good practice.  Details came last; the kids LOVED using yarn for the mane and tail!  I got many compliments when these were hung up in the hallway; they just make me happy, because they are so cute!  Next year I will connect these zebras with fruit stripe gum!
