Project Description: Can you see the hidden animal? This project played tricks with the mind. Using warm and cool colors help the animal not be seen.
This lesson was designed so that we would start by making "magic red ruby glasses." They were made from construction paper and red cellophane. We started practicing drawing upside down. For our project, I picked one of the several safari animals in a packet. I choose a monkey hanging from a tree. I flipped the picture upside down and began to draw. Our next was task was to layer our picture with warms color in a pattern formation. On top of the warm colors, I put a cool color (light blue). The warm and cool colors helped hide my monkey. When I used my "magic red ruby glasses," I was able to see my picture. Lastly, I came up with three clues to help others figure out what my animal is.
Extension Activity: I would have each child make a hidden picture around the theme of our week. I would have the students also come up with three clues to help their peers. I would use this activity for children who got done with the assignment early and as an occasional brain break.
