Hidden Safari

 Description: 

The students chose an animal to draw, however they had to draw it upside down and with a cool color. This way, they focus on lines and shapes instead of the whole animal itself. Then, they drew patterns over the animal using warm colors. The students also made red light glasses, so they could see the hidden animals. Lastly, students had to give three hints about their chosen animal for others to guess. 

Extension Activity: 

An extension activity that I would do in my own classroom would be to do this activity, but reverse the colors and lens. Instead of drawing the "hidden" image with a cool color, my students would use a warm color. They also would switch the red lens to a blue lens and create patterns using cool colors. Another catch to this would be that they would create an entire scene (jungle, living room, park, etc.) and hide something within the scene, kind of like a "Where's Waldo" picture.
