Eric Carle Exhibit

It all started with a newspaper article. 

Well, not really. 

Last week, the New York times posted an article about a new Eric Carle exhibit at the Montclair Art Museum. One of my favorite books growing up was Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and I even have a copy of Carle's Dream Snow That was given to me for Christmas when I was one.

So, after hearing about the exhibit, myself, my mom, my dad, and my best friend Renee, drove an hour out to the Montclair Art Museum to see it. 

Sadly, there was no photography allowed in the exhibit, so I was unable to take any photos of the artwork. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit, and I liked learning Carle's process. The way that he made his images was that he painted a pattern on a whole sheet of paper, and then cut out all the body parts of his subject, glued them together, and then added finishing touches. 

Since this exhibit was meant for children, they even included a reading nook at the end where kids and their parents could sit and read some of Carle's books. Now, I am in fact NOT a child (wow, shocker), but I still thought that it was fun.

Overall, I had a great time, and I would recommend it to anyone

Thanks for reading!
