Do you know the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Grouchy Ladybug? 

Thee books were written and illustrated by Eric Carle. The illustrations are done in a style of 
art called "collage". That is torn or cut paper glued onto another paper (or cardboard, or anything) to make a new and different picture.

Here is how Eric makes his papers and then makes them into his illustrations.
