Hidden Safari
For this lesson, we made animals that you may
see on a safari, but we made the animals look hidden. First to start the
project I made red glasses with a red film on them which will help us see the
animals. Next, I selected an animal to draw. I turned the image of the animal
upside down in order to draw it on a sheet of white paper. By having it
upside-down it was easier to focus on the lines of the animal. It was easier to
start from the bottom of the animal and draw up to the head. I used a sky blue
colored pencil to outline the animal- you have to use a cool color to draw it in
order for the project to work. Sky blue works the best in order to catch the
full effect. After I had the animal drawn out, I used red, yellow, and orange
crayons and created a pattern over top the image of the animal. The crayons are
warm colors, so they hid the blue outline.
An extension activity that could be used would be to incorporate this activity into other subjects. You could do math problems and put the answers on another sheet of paper, and the students would have to use their glasses to see the answers.
