My pictures are collages. (제 그림은 콜라쥬기법을
사용한 거예요.) I didn?t invent the collage.
Artists like Picasso and Matisse and Leo Lionni and Ezra Jack Keats
made collages. Many children have done collages at home or in their
classrooms. In fact, some children have said to me, ?Oh, I can do
that.? I consider that the highest compliment.
I begin with plain tissue paper and paint it
with different colors, using acrylics. Sometimes I paint with a
wide brush, sometimes with a narrow brush. Sometimes my strokes
are straight, and sometimes they?re wavy. Sometimes I paint with
my fingers. Or I paint on a piece of carpet, sponge, or burlap and
then use that like a stamp on my tissue papers to create different
textures.
(흰 티슈를 가지고 아크릴물감을 칠해서 만들죠. 어떨 때는 넓은 붓으로 칠하기도 하고 좁은 붓을 사용하기도 해요.
직선으로 그리기도 하고, 구불구불 그리기도 하고 말이죠. 심지어 손가락으로 그릴 때도 있어요. 카펫, 스폰지, 삼베
등에 색을 칠해서 그걸 스탬프 처럼 티슈 위에 찍어서 다른 질감을 나타내기도 하죠.)
These papers are my palette and after
they have dried I store them in color-coded drawers.
Let?s say I want to create a caterpillar:
I cut out a circle for the head from a red tissue paper and many
ovals for the body from green tissue papers; and then I paste them
with wallpaper glue onto an illustration board to make the picture.
(이렇게 만든 종이를 말려 모아서 색상표를 붙인 서랍 안에 넣어 두죠. 그랬다가 예를 들어 애벌레를 만들고 싶을
때는 빨갛게 만든 티슈를 동그랗게 오리고, 녹색 티슈는 타원형으로 여러 개 오린 후 그림판에 풀로 붙여 머리와 몸통을
만들어 그림을 완성하는 거랍니다.)
The
video, Eric
Carle: Picture Writer, shows exactly how I do this. Many children and teachers
have seen the video and then made their own papers and pictures.
You might want to try it. It?s messy, but fun. The video is available
from your local bookstore, Philomel Books (800.631.8571),
Scholastic Book Clubs, or from this web site at http://www.eric-carle.com/pwriter.html
There is so much wonderful art in
the world. If you are interested in Picasso, Matisse, Klee, Brueghel,
Léger and other artists, you can find their work in museums
and in art books.
