We have been doing an author study on Barbara Reid who is a famous Canadian author and illustrator. She illustrates her picture books in plasticine. We have enjoyed reading her books and viewing the illustrations are very detailed  and colourful. Some of the books we read this week include:

      PICTURE A TREE

          THE PARTY

        subway mouse

We have watched several videos in which Barbara Reid explains her plasticine techniques. We are very excited about making our own plasticine illustrations in the style of Barbara Reid.
You can view her videos with your child to help them plan their project.
