Bay Tree: Exploring Eric Carle

Date: 15th Jan 2026 @ 3:55pm

This week, in art, we have been exploring art inspired by the wonderful Eric Carle. We have enjoyed looking at his bright colours, bold patterns and texture artwork, which has inspired us to experiment with different painting techniques. We used straws to blow paint across the page to make lines and shapes. We explored textures by using bubble wrap as our painting tools, and we also enjoyed making bubbles using paint and blowing them onto paper. The paintings were colourful, expressive and inspired by the joyful style of Eric Carle.

What a bright, fun week we have had Bay Tree.
