Eric Carle’s books like The Very Hungry Caterpillar are linked in the minds of his faithful readers with his very distinctive and beautiful art. But how does he make the art and with what materials? We take a look at his process for making the images in the books and show you how you can do it, too!
埃里克 · 卡尔的书，如《饥饿的毛毛虫》 ，在他忠实的读者心目中与他非常独特和美丽的艺术联系在一起。 但是他是怎样用什么材料创作艺术的呢？ 我们来看看他在书中制作图像的过程，并告诉你如何做到这一点！
Carle credits his influences for his style as ranging from Picasso, Matisse, Leo Lionni, and Ezra Jack Keats. His pictures are actually collages and not paintings. On his website at www.eric-carle.com, the artist says of his process, “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.” That’s a fascinating way to go about making a collage, by preparing lots of different surfaces to work with!
卡尔认为他的风格的影响，从毕加索，马蒂斯，李欧·李奥尼，以及以斯拉杰克济慈。 他的画实际上是拼贴画而不是绘画。 在他 www.eric-carle.com 的网站上，这位艺术家这样描述他的创作过程: “我从普通的薄纸开始，用不同颜色的丙烯酸树脂画出来。 有时我用宽刷子画，有时用窄刷子画。 有时候我的笔画是直的，有时候它们是波浪形的。 有时我用手指画画。 或者我在一块地毯、海绵或粗麻布上作画，然后像在纸巾上盖章一样用它来创造不同的纹理。” 这是一个有趣的方式去进行拼贴，通过准备许多不同的表面来工作！
But what does he do with all of this paper? Eric Carle continues, “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.” Wouldn’t you love to look through all of those drawers of prepared papers?
但是他用这些纸做什么呢？ 埃里克 · 卡尔继续说道: “这些纸是我的调色板，干了以后，我把它们放在用颜色编码的抽屉里。 比方说，我想创建一只毛毛虫: 我用红色的纸巾剪出一个圆圈，用绿色的纸巾剪出许多椭圆形的身体; 然后我用墙纸胶水把它们粘到插图板上，制作出这张图片。” 你难道不想看看所有这些抽屉里的准备好的文件吗？
Do you feel like running out to your local arts and crafts store to make your own collage, or do one with the kids? Carle says, “You might want to try it. It’s messy, but fun.” The artist has also created a handy instruction sheet on how to make a hungry caterpillar at http://www.eric-carle.com/EricCarleCollageMakingInstructionSheet.pdf. Be sure to share your own Eric Carle-inspired art with us! We’d love to see it!
你是想跑到当地的工艺品商店做你自己的拼贴画，还是和孩子们一起做？ 卡尔说，“你可能想试试。 虽然乱七八糟，但很有趣。” 这位艺术家还创作了一个简便的说明书，教你如何在 http://www.eric-carle.com/ericcarlecollagemakinginstructionsheet.pdf 制作一只饥饿的毛毛虫。 一定要与我们分享你自己的埃里克卡尔灵感艺术！ 我们很乐意去看看！
