The Wonderful World of Eric Carle
Aug 26 - 30, 2024
9AM - 12PM
Concept
Explore the wild world of characters created by children’s book author and illustrator Eric Carle. Celebrate classic books like The Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug, and many more! What makes Eric Carle’s characters so special? How can we mimic his legendary style to create unique artworks of our own? We explore these questions as we craft our favorite real and imaginary animals in a variety of mediums including paint, watercolors, oil pastels, crayons, plaster cast material, and more!
